I guess I'm use to obits being printed somewhere in the near vicinity of the date of the death.

Most "obits" are paid for by the families. They are not free. Perhaps those involved are busy with "other" things....(grieving..handling arrangements...notifying others..collecting info ..spending the insurance policy...etc..). Do not know about The Daily Sun policies regarding "obits" and the costs involved. BUT....on the other hand, death notices (name and town) are free. Those are provided by a governmental agency..AND we all know about their efficiency.
