All Cremation services require payment for the following two options.
An obituary is not legally required.
The Newsaper Obituary options below include our $75 fee to arrange, compose, proofread, prepare, and submit your obituary to the newspaper. Cost shown to publish an obituary in a newspaper is the base price set by the Reading Eagle and is ONLY an estimate, not inflation proof, and final cost will be determined when the obituary is submitted to the newspaper at the time of death. Essentially you are placing a "deposit" towards the final cost of the obituary. Newspaper obituary costs vary widely from paper to paper. Including a photo with the obituary also increases costs. The Reading Eagle's Base package includes up to 4" depth obituary (21 lines), 1 photo, and listing on Legacy.com. The Best package addiitonally includes a 5x7-mounted keepsake replica of the obituary.Feeney Website: Our website obituary, which appears on www.johnpfeeney.com, allows friends and family to leave condolences, light a candle and purchase flowers and other gifts. A photo is included for free. There is no limit on the length of the obituary. Online obituaries are customized with a header image and music. If you chose to include a Memorial DVD with your arrangements, images from the DVD are added automatically to your online obituary. Guests can also upload their own photos and videos and share the obituary to facebook, twitter, and email as well as print out the obituary and guestbook entries. You can also include an option for guests to directly donate to the charity of your choice or to a charity of their choosing in lieu of sending flowers or other gifts. Your obituary remains on our website indefinitely.
BerksObits: In addition to placing your obituary on our funeral home website, this option also places your obituary listing on BerksObits.com, a new county-wide aggregate obituary site for member funeral homes, which is posted on facebook and Twitter and delivered daily via email to subscribers.
As the Reading Eagle's prices are soaring and their circulation is dwindling, BerksObits provides an economical alternative and added reach for your family and friends to find the obituary.
Casket included with Direct/Green Burial Package is a biodegradeable cloth/cardboard casket. Additional options are available at added cost.
