How do I buy back issues of the paper?
Come in to the lobby of the Cortland Standard at 110 Main St., Cortland. We try to have papers available from as far back as a year ago, although supply may be limited and some days not available.
The Cortland Standard only accepts obituaries placed through funeral homes.
Effective June 1, 2018, all obituaries are subject to a $15 base fee plus 75 cents per word.
The headline is not included in the word count.
A standard-size photo of the deceased (1×1.5”) costs $25. Non-standard size pictures costs $35.
Only e-mailed submissions are accepted. The email address is obits@cortlandstandard.com.
MS Word documents are preferred.
The deadline for submission is 4 p.m. the day before you would like the obituary to run.
Please direct any questions to the Business Office at 607-756-5665, ext. 140.
The Cortland Standard reserves the right to edit obituaries for style and content.
The newspaper also runs death notices, which are free; however, they include only the name, age and residence of the deceased, along with funeral and burial information.
