[NFBKTAD] Newspaper Obituaries

[NFBK First Vice President]

Thank you, Rick. This is a common theme. Legacy.com is the third party
provider for obits across the country. Most newspapers are syndicately owned
and this is who many of the syndicate groups have chosen to provide their
obituaries.  This is a prevalent issue that has not been rectified, at
least, for the online publication.

Hello, Todd,

 

I can read the obituaries in the Courier-Journal, but I notice that the
number of them varies considerably. Sometimes, there are a whole bunch;
sometimes, just a few.

Good Evening:

 

I've had a number of complaints about the obituaries in our state in recent
times, and I wanted to see how many were having an issue with the section of
their respective newspapers.

 

If this applies to you, please include the newspaper or newspapers in your
comments, if you please. We'll take the comments about Obits in other states
as well.

 

Thank you,

 

Todd
