Obituary information

No obituary will be accepted unless it is provided by a licensed funeral home. Information on obituaries are published free of charge in The Gatesville Messenger. All obituaries follow a standard format and any request for deviation from this format will require payment for the obituary. The Messenger does not list survivors beyond the immediate family–spouse, children, parents, brothers and sisters. Inclusion of any other survivors will require payment for the obituary. Photos carry a $10 reproduction charge.
