4-HSS-26-033 - Indigent Burial - Appendix E - Burial Advertisement Form.docx

This is an Appendix E Burial Advertisement Form for the Delaware Health and Social Services Division of Social Services related to the Indigent Burial and Cremation Services contract opportunity. The form serves as a template for vendors selected to provide indigent burial services to place obituary notices in designated publications. Vendors are required to publish burial notices in two primary outlets: the Daily State News (ads@newszap.com, with placement required by 11:00 AM) and The News Journal (wil-obituary@gannett.com, with placement required by 3:00 PM). The advertisement must appear for three consecutive days and must include specific information about the deceased, including the decedent's name, age, last known address, and date of death, along with contact instructions for relatives or friends to claim the deceased immediately.

The form requires vendors to provide their own vendor information for contact purposes and establishes standardized messaging and publication timelines for all indigent burial notices. This document does not specify pricing, contract terms, funding amounts, or award details, as it functions solely as a procedural template for vendors to follow when notifying the public of unclaimed deceased individuals in the state of Delaware.
