Obituaries
Obituaries are important news within a community, and they provide information so that community members can show support to family members. The Lansing Journal can work with funeral homes or directly with families to publish full obituaries with photos in our online edition right away for $50. These posts are then included in the daily email that is sent to all our subscribers, and we share them to our social media sites.
Arrangements can be made with the funeral home or directly with us—contact [email protected].
