The City County Observer has recently begun to publish “Cause of Death” reports from the Vanderburgh County Health Department.
We now in a position to offer space in our publication for obituaries, with one photo and unlimited words, free of charge if we can get the support of local Funeral Homes.
If you have ever had to deal with the cost of a funeral you know that the experience can be very expensive and the cost of publishing an obituary in the Courier & Press and other for print publications only adds to the extreme funeral costs during this trying time.
We have spent the last year reaching out to local Funeral Homes in hopes that they would let us publish some of their obituaries as a public service, and all have refused to cooperate.
Our proposal is to publish obituaries free in the CCO so that more people have the opportunity to have the passing of loved one be recognized in all available media outlets.
The major point of contention is that many of our readers to do not read the Courier & Press and other local print media. The local Funeral Homes owners does a disservice to our community by not allowing the lives of our loved ones to be recognized and remembered in a published obituary in all area media.
If you would like to assist the City County Observer in correcting this bad business practice and discriminatory policy practiced by local Funeral Homes and believe it is time for a change, please contact your local funeral home to voice your opinion. Â Make sure you ask them to visit the City County Observer on-line site so they can see what your talking about.
Please contact the following Funeral Homes and voice your support in allowing the City County Observer the opportunity to pay tribute to the passing of our love ones.

Ronald,
After reviewing internally with our Legacy management team we have decided against allowing you to link to our Legacy Evansville market obits. All obits in our database are paid for by newspapers that have partnered with us to host their obits for them. Allowing a 3rd party publication access to that data would not be fair to our current newspaper affiliate partners. We do not currently offer this service to any other publications not currently using Legacy to host their paid obits.
We would be happy to work with you to host your paid obits online when you’ve developed a consistent paid obit program. We recommend building relationships with your in-market funeral homes to be sure your publication is available to be chosen by families when they are working with them to place their paid obit orders.
Best wishes!
Andrew Greb | Senior Affiliate Manager

Please take time and vote in today’s “Readers Poll”. Also we just posted the current City County Observer TRI-STATE VOICES TV show for you’re viewing pleasure. Don’t miss reading today’s Feature article because it’s always an interesting read. New addition to the CCO is the Cause of Death report generated by the Vanderburgh County Health Department.

This smacks of socialism. Kicking people when they’re down and charging grieving folks exorbitant fees is just the American way.
You don’t really know what socialism is.
COMPASSION OVER MONEY
C-CO has embarked on a mission of unselfish Public Service
To offer free publication of obituaries and cause of death information sets them apart from the rest.
Without naming names or making this personal – those who would exploit death by charging exorbitant fees for funeral services or blocking free publication of information about the deceased – his family – accomplishments and tribulations – are among the lowest among us.
This reader is hard-pressed to imagine a time frame or circumstance within which compassion and fairness – are more indicated.
Let those who would resist this opportunity to participate in true sympathy and service to the public – be judged and rewarded accordingly.
You know – and we know – who you are – What Would Jesus Do? …
+1 Bubba.
What is revealed here in this article, is Loads of Pious phoneys who worship at the alter of the Almighty Dollar, while greeting the face of the bereaved with shallow smiles of “understanding”.
I hope that families from here forward, consider putting their loved one’s Obituary, in the CCO ,
or anywhere else for that matter,– at their own Discretion,– and as a statement of Principal.
