For information on submitting an obituary, please contact Reading Eagle by phone at 610-371-5018, or email at obituaries@readingeagle.com or fax at 610-371-5193.
Most obituaries published in the Reading Eagle are submitted through funeral homes and cremation services, but we will accept submissions from families. Obituaries can be emailed to obituaries@readingeagle.com.
In addition to the text of the obituary, any photographs that you wish to include can be attached to this email. Please put the text of the obituary in a Word document, a Google document or in the body of the email. The Reading Eagle also requires a way to verify the death, so please include either the phone number of the funeral home or cremation service that is in charge of the deceased’s care or a photo of his/her death certificate. We also request that your full name, phone number and address are all included in this email.
All payments by families must be made with a credit card. We will send a proof of the completed obituary before we require payment. The obituary cannot run, however, until we receive payment in full.
Obituaries can be submitted for any future date, but they must be received no later than 3:00 p.m. the day prior to its running for it to be published.
Please call the obituary desk, at 610-371-5018, for information on pricing.
It is not anti-fascist ideology that is overthrowing our system of government. It is the fascist, authoritarian, MAGA policies that are rapidly taking over all branches of our government in an attempt to destroy democracy, the rule of law and our Constitution that has been the envy of the world.
We are losing our ability to speak freely about anything the government disagrees with. Don’t complain about tariffs making everything more expensive, inflation, food prices or cuts in health care or food assistance.
People are being fired, universities and media are being extorted and books are being banned. Our voting system is being gerrymandered in an attempt to turn this country into a one-party system, facilitated by Supreme Court decisions.
Our laws and international laws are ignored, consequences be damned, and we support dictators in Europe, the Middle East and South America. We attack our neighbors and impose tariffs on allies who have been with us through thick and thin, then wonder why they are unhappy.
We are filling government agencies, including the Justice Department, with dangerous, incompetent sycophants who, under orders, use our system of justice as a means of revenge against the perceived enemies of the president while refusing to release the Epstein files because they may implicate the president. And we still don’t know how Jeffrey Epstein died, do we?
Is that what we voted for in November?
