A quick note about obituaries...

We'd like to get the word out that we will gladly publish all obits that our reading public would like to see on Bates County Live. While we keep in touch with local funeral homes, we sometimes miss getting obits with local ties that have services being held elsewhere...

So feel free to contact us with the name of the deceased and funeral home, and we'll get the info directly from them. We cannot accept obits sent to us by individuals.

Again, thanks for reading our web site and as always, feel free to send us any news, news tips or obituary information any time at bateswire@hotmail.com or call 913-669-5848.
