Many funeral homes add the cost of the obit into the funeral package as the OKC paper (along with most others) has discovered that it is a VERY profitable section of the newspaper. My mom died last year. To run an obit in the paper would have cost over $100. I'm not aware of a paper for Spencer, but Midwest City has a newspaper and I would bet that Spencer obits would be in that. I will try to get to the library later this week and see.
