For information about submitting an obituary, please contact the Reading Eagle by phone at 610-371-5018 or by email at [email protected] or by fax at 610-371-5193.
Most obituaries published in the Reading Eagle are sent through funeral homes and cremation services, but we will accept submissions from families. Obituaries may be emailed to [email protected].
In addition to the text of the obituary, any photos you wish to include can be attached to this email. Please paste the text of the obituary into a Word document, Google document or in the body of the email. The Reading Eagle also requires a way to confirm the death, so please include either the phone number of the funeral home or cremation service responsible for the care of the deceased, or a photo of his/her death certificate. We also want your full name, phone number and address included in this email.
All payments from families must be made by credit card. We will send proof of the completed obituary before requesting payment. However, the obituary cannot be published until full payment has been received.
Obituaries may be submitted for any future date, but must be received no later than 3:00 pm the day before it is published in order to be published.
Please call the obituary desk at 610-371-5018 for pricing information.
