Q : I noticed there seem to be fewer
Congregation Bais Chabad
obituaries in the daily newspapers, which sponsors West Bloomfield
Judaica Art Fair,
makes me wonder who determines
8:30 pm-11:30 pm, Sat, Feb 11,
which obituaries arc printed?
A: Unlike a paid death notice, an
obituary is considered a news item with
no cost to the family and is published
at the newspaper's discretion. Death
notices have increased in size. Less
space goes to free obituaries and greater
emphasis is given to paid death notices,
with photographs, religious symbols •
such as Jewish stars, and even Web
addresses, all adding to the overall size
and cost of the notices.
