News obituaries are published by The Boston Globe, free of charge. Many people request obituaries. The Globe publishes a limited number on the obituary page as space and staffing allow. They appear at the discretion of the Metro Desk and there is never a guarantee that an obituary will run. It’s advisable to run a paid death notice with essential information in order to guarantee that the information be published. If you would like to submit an obituary for Metro Desk consideration, please send the information and a photo by e-mail to obits@globe.com, or information by fax to 617-929-3186. If you need further assistance about a news obituary, please call 617-929-3400.
