Placing obituaries:

As a service to readers, The Day publishes a free obituary of anyone living in the area at the time of death.

The obituary includes the name, age and address, cause of death, a brief description of life’s work, the name of spouse or companion, and funeral arrangements.

If more detail is desired, paid obituaries are available.

Paid obituaries also appear online with a guest book to sign and express condolences at www.theday.com.

The Day reserves the right to publish obituaries without restriction.

Funeral directors may email announcements to obits@theday.com, fax to (860) 442-5599, or call (860) 701-4349 from noon to 4:30 p.m. Photos must be received by 3 p.m. the day before publication.

Obituaries are accepted from funeral directors. The Day assumes no responsibility for incorrect or inaccurate information. The Day reserves the right to revise, edit or reject information proven to be false or misleading. The Day assumes no financial responsibility for non-publication or for typographical errors, but will reprint that part of an ad in which an error occurs if it seriously alters the meaning or effect of the ad.
