Question: Can a funeral be done without any newspaper notices to inform the public?
N.L. Hope
Dear N.L.,
Yes. There are no laws that state a notice must be put in the newspaper. We, as funeral directors, have to report the death to the city or town where the person passed away by filing a death certificate. We also notify Social Security.
Questions are welcomed and encouraged. Please send questions to: ShalomChapel@aol.com or by mail to Ask the Director, c/o Shalom Memorial Chapel, 1100 New London Ave., Cranston, R.I. 02920.
