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.
