Effective January 1, 2010, the Catahoula News Booster will begin charging $20
for the printing of an obituary. We have strived over the years to remain one
of the only newspapers in the state to print free obituaries, but it is simply
no longer possible. We have, in the past, charged $20 for the inclusion of a
photo in an obituary. We will no longer charge this fee. Obituaries will be $20
across the board, with or without a photo.
Sincerely,
Will Clifton, Editor/Publisher
