The News Progress has decided to begin offering obituaries that are received after we go to press, online and for free Wednesdays through Fridays.

Since the NP often times receives obituaries after we print the paper on Wednesdays, we formerly held those obits to run the following week. The dilemma, however, was if the visitation and/or funeral was held prior to our next issue, readers were not being given the information in a timely manner.

To alleviate this issue, we will be posting all obituaries received between each Wednesday through Friday on our website, www.newsprogress.com. These obituaries will include minimal information, including name, age, place of birth, and any visitation/funeral information. The complete obituaries will still run in our print edition the following week.

For more information or questions, call the NP at 728-7381 or contact Keith Stewart at keith@newsprogress.com.
