How to Place an Obituary

Click Here to Submit an Obituary Online

After your loved one passes away, you have so many contractual details to deal with, like home, finances, burial and funeral arrangements, the last thing you want to think about is placing an obituary in your local paper, but doing so is very important. A published obituary can be used in many cases with insurance companies and creditors to help prove the official death of a loved one, as well as letting all of your neighbors, friends and loved ones know of the passing in an efficient manner.

Although this may seem like an insurmountable task, The Mountain-Ear can help. We have a simple form to help you get started. We can put it all together into a story format for you. The cost to place an obituary is $25. That includes a photo and 750 words. Need an extended obituary? No problem. We can do that too. We can help make the process as simple as possible, for you and your family. To get your forms, more information and to see examples of published obituaries, please email publisher@themountainear.com.

Business Short Takes: Peak to Peak Plumbing

Peak to Peak Plumbing LLC, owned by Joe Ryan, opened their doors in June of 2021. They service the greater Peak to Peak region from Allenspark to Idaho Springs.

Ryan became a Master Plumber after working under a man he met in a coffee shop several years ago.

Inspiration for starting the business locally included talking to people up here who couldn’t get a plumber quickly when needed, as well as seeing posts on Facebook from people looking for a plumber.

He spent a long time working down the hill and working up here in his spare time. He took the leap this year to start his own plumbing company.

He offers commercial and residential plumbing services for the mountain region. From new builds to repairs, he promises prompt service and regular callbacks even when he’s busy.

He doesn’t feel anything makes his different than the other businesses up here. Ryan says, “We can work together to take care of the plumbing needs of the region, as a community. We’re not different, we’re all working to help the locals get what they need.”
