Greedy little bas s, aren't they?
You have got to be ing ting me. Thats ing ridiculous, I had no idea that part of keeping a paper functional consisted of sucking the the last penny out of the dead. God ing forbid it actually be affordable to print the last respects to our loved ones. I can run an add in the classifieds for less than 100 bucks but if I want to let people know my Grandmother passed away it will cost us more than ing six times that amount. you people and your ing outrageous charge. I'm calling again in a few hours just to make sure it wasn't some pissed off dumb having a bad day. Very few times in my life am I surprised at the we have to deal with in our society but yeah I'm shocked right now.

That is ing insane for an obituary. Im telling my wife just send a ing chain email and let it get around when I die.
BTW, sorry to hear about your grandmother.
Better yet, just have someone post a bulletin on myspace for you.
That must be without a picture. We paid more than that for my mom's obit ... it's incredible.
I don't ing get it. How in the can you put an ad to sell something and it hardly cost anything but to run an obit its a fortune. This makes me sick.
DONNELLY: Yes. I understand you're taking away the remains.
WALTER: Yeah.
DONNELLY: We have the urn.
DONNELLY: And I assume this is credit card?
WALTER: Yeah. What's this?
DONNELLY: That is for the urn.
WALTER: Don't need it. We're scattering the ashes.
DONNELLY: Yes, so we were informed. However, we must of course transmit the remains to you in a receptacle.
WALTER: This is a hundred and eighty dollars.
DONNELLY: Yes sir. It is our most modestly priced receptacle.
DUDE: Well can we--
WALTER: A hundred and eighty dollars?!
DONNELLY: They range up to three thousand.
WALTER: Yeah, but we're--
DUDE: Can we just rent it from you?
DONNELLY: Sir, this is a mortuary, not a rental house.
WALTER: We're scattering the ing ashes!
DUDE: Walter--
WALTER: JUST BECAUSE WE'RE BEREAVED DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE SAPS!
DONNELLY: Sir, please lower your voice--
DUDE: Hey man, don't you have something else you could put it in?
DONNELLY: That is our most modestly priced receptacle.
WALTER: GODDAMNIT! IS THERE A RALPH'S AROUND HERE?!
That's why I posted my grandmothers death in the travel section since she was going to .
Why would anyone do an obituary anyways?
they're expensive because noone does them and noone does them cause they're too expensive. it's a vicious cycle.
fo real...if i am famous enough to be in the paper when i die, then you shouldnt need to run the ad yourself...i want front page ...
nope brahYou have got to be ing ting me
i mean unless youre a district attorney
or a young prosecutor (the avg age of nyc city assistant DA is only 28 years old)*
*young prosector commericial
I can not believe how expensive it is... That should be against the law!
I don't want anyone to know if I died.
ask johnny blaze as a reporter hes done crime stories
Your Grandmother dies it's 600.00 dollars to have it in the paper. You shoot your grandmother in the head and it's in the paper for free? You guys live in a ed up town!
Hey, Mookie... is it true you told Whottt you wanted to kill me?
no
whottts prowar
I think that was president Truman who wanted you dead.
Well its done. Small picture and brief tribute and verbage. Little over 600 dollars. I hope I never have to meet an Express News employee or I'm going to ing meltdown like you guys have never seen.
why would you pay that? is it really worth it to have an obituary?
You should call the trouble shooters! or at least call KTSA's "what's got your goat?" on Friday 6:50-6:59
599-5555
It was the right thing to do because she would have done the same thing for me had the situation been reversed. She had a lot of friends in SA over the years and we couldn't even begin to find all of them but if just a couple see the obit, and it sparks a fond memory of her, it was totally worth it.
I dont think ive ever even lookd in the obituaries...ever...does this change when you get old enough that your friends start biting it? Is it sorta like reading the sports headlines from yesterdays games?
God i hope not...
No offense man, cause we all want to do what is right for our loved ones, but it just seems like a big waste of cash...especially for 600 in dollars...jesus christ.
All old people read the obituaries....it starts about at age 50 or so.
And yeah, it's crazy-expensive, but the last thing you feel like doing when a love one passes away is calling 654654321654 people to pass on the funeral information, etc. And there were tons of people my mom knew that I had no clue existed that found out through the obituary, and came to the funeral or sent cards or flowers or made donations in her name.
And I think the paper takes advantage of that ... to get their cut of any life insurance proceeds. I posted a pretty long advertisement for a garage sale one time and it only cost me about $30.
sensible reason
i like MavTalkers suggestion if it's already said and done
