For information on submitting an obituary, please contact Reading Eagle by phone at 610-371-5018, or email at obituaries@readingeagle.com or fax at 610-371-5193.
Most obituaries published in the Reading Eagle are submitted through funeral homes and cremation services, but we will accept submissions from families. Obituaries can be emailed to obituaries@readingeagle.com.
In addition to the text of the obituary, any photographs that you wish to include can be attached to this email. Please put the text of the obituary in a Word document, a Google document or in the body of the email. The Reading Eagle also requires a way to verify the death, so please include either the phone number of the funeral home or cremation service that is in charge of the deceased’s care or a photo of his/her death certificate. We also request that your full name, phone number and address are all included in this email.
All payments by families must be made with a credit card. We will send a proof of the completed obituary before we require payment. The obituary cannot run, however, until we receive payment in full.
Obituaries can be submitted for any future date, but they must be received no later than 3:00 p.m. the day prior to its running for it to be published.
Please call the obituary desk, at 610-371-5018, for information on pricing.
The 12th annual Guts and Glory Digestive and Wellness Expo is set for Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Jim Dietrich Park, 4899 Stoudt’s Ferry Bridge Road, Muhlenberg Township. Rain date is Sunday.
The expo is hosted by local nonprofit, My Gut Instinct Inc., with title sponsor Penn State Health St. Joseph Medical Center. It is a free, communitywide celebration of health for all ages that includes a farmers market, educational booths, locally sourced food, fitness zones, yoga, massage, health screenings, wellness experts, demonstrations and performances, community partners, kid activities, a DJ and food trucks, to name a few features.
Nearly 100 vendors will be in attendance offering help with health and well-being through interactive demonstrations. The inflatable colon exhibit provides visitors with an opportunity to learn more about common disease conditions.
“We aim to provide people with health knowledge and empower them to take action to live healthier lives and become beautiful from the inside, out, because we believe beauty starts on the inside,” My Gut Instinct founder Dr. Aparna Mele said in the organization’s announcement of the event. “We also want to show the community that eating and living healthy is not only easy to do, but it can also be fun and delicious too.”
