What Are Obituaries?
An obituary is a published notice of a person’s death. It is generally written by family members or close friends, and provides information about the deceased person’s life and achievements. Obituaries also include details about the person’s surviving family, funeral arrangements, and other relevant information. Obituaries can be printed in newspapers, posted online, or shared through social media.
What Do Obituaries Include?
Obituaries typically include the deceased’s name, age, hometown, place of death, funeral arrangements, and a brief biography. They may also include a list of surviving family members (including children, siblings, and parents), and any other pertinent information like the date of birth, date of death, and the cause of death. Depending on the family’s wishes, obituaries may also include quotes from friends and family members, a list of accomplishments, and favorite hobbies or interests.
How to Write an Obituary
Writing an obituary can be a difficult and emotional task. Begin by gathering as much information as you can about the deceased person, such as their full name, age, date of birth, date of death, and cause of death.
