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.
Regarding President Donald Trump’s second term, The Nation reports, “At least 10 million people will have their health care ripped away. Immigrants are being stripped of due process, with a staggering $75 billion allocated to ICE over the next four years. While the unhoused and underresourced are villainized, the richest will benefit from the largest generational wealth transfer in U.S. history. We’re witnessing a coordinated campaign to undermine key pillars of American democracy.”
Is this what people voted for? What happened to the promises to lower the price of groceries and to end the war in Ukraine on day one? It is apparent that those were empty promises to get elected to the highest office in our country. Trump’s assault on our Constitution should alarm every American.
And the cowardice of Republican legislators in Washington and across the country speaks volumes. Putting their personal monetary greed ahead of our country’s survival as a democratic republic is beyond comprehension.
