Good morning, Stockton.
We have another new community feature we’d like to introduce.
This week, Stocktonia added an obituary page to our website.
We understand the importance of sharing information when a death happens in our community.
Obituaries are an important way to honor a loved one. They can bring together family and friends. And they can preserve an individual’s legacy.
In fact, obituaries have historically been one of the most well-read sections at local news outlets.
We have partnered with Legacy.com, a well-known obituary and memorial site, to host our obituaries.
The page features obituaries from local funeral homes. For families who would like to pay tribute to a loved one, we also offer ways to submit an obituary.
You can take a look here.
As always, your feedback is appreciated.
