Obituary Information
The Sylva Herald prints obituaries free of charge as a service to its readers. Deadline for obituary news is 2 p.m. on Tuesday.
When possible, obituaries should be submitted to The Herald from the funeral home in charge of arrangements. Information received will be printed in our standard obituary format. As is the case with all information submitted to The Herald, we reserve the right to edit obituary information to fit our standard format.
We publish names of the deceased’s children; we also include the number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We do not include in-laws, cousins, nieces and nephews, or special friends.
Included in a brief history of the deceased are items such as their employment, professional, civic, community and religious affiliations. We omit personal tributes.
A photograph of the deceased may be included.
Only obituaries published in The Herald’s standard format are included in the newspaper’s online archives; in the interest of a complete genealogical record, all obituaries will initially be published in the newspaper’s format.
