Anniston Star Obituary Policy
It is the policy of The Anniston Star and The Anniston Star Online to publish obituaries of local residents and former local residents. Obituaries must be submitted by funeral homes. Obituaries are not accepted from family members or friends of the deceased.
Death notices up to eight lines of type are published at no charge. Death notices can include the deceased person's name, age, address, date of death, time and place of services, and the funeral home in charge of arrangements. This information must be submitted to The Star by a funeral home.
The Star now charges funeral homes to publish complete obituaries. The amount varies according to the number of lines published. Obituaries published in The Anniston Star are also published on The Anniston Star Online at no additional charge. Photographs are accepted for publication and are charged at the same rate as text. Fees for obituaries in The Star are billed directly to the funeral homes. Payment is not accepted from family members or friends of the deceased.
The Star reserves the right to edit obituaries. In most instances the family's content and style will be published in the form submitted to us. There are no limits on numbers of survivors, pallbearers, honorary pallbearers, or any other information the family wants included, so long as good taste and judgment prevail.
If The Star makes significant errors in publishing an obituary, we will publish it again a no charge. Obituaries containing errors when submitted to us can be re-published at the same rate as the original obituary.
