Submit an obituary

  • At East Idaho News, we recognize how hard it is to lose a loved one, and we want to make the obituary process as smooth as possible. If you have questions, please contact us at obits@eastidahonews.com or (208) 528-6397.

    You may now submit one main photo and up to five additional photos. There is no extra cost.

    We try to publish obituaries as soon as we get them! Sometimes we're able to publish them immediately, so unless you specified a different date, here's when you can typically expect the obituary to be posted:

    • Obituaries must be submitted before NOON for same-day publication. (After the deadline, the obituary may be published the next business day).
    • Obituaries submitted after NOON and before 5 p.m. on Friday will be published on Monday unless noted to publish on Saturday or Sunday.
  • Basic information

  • First and last name.
    If so, a U.S. flag will be inserted with the obituary.

  • Photos

    Obituary photos can be any dimensions -- horizontal, vertical or square.

  • Accepted file types: jpg, jpeg, png, gif.
  • You can include up to five more photos (in addition to the main one). There is no extra cost.
