Frequently Asked Questions
What is an obituary?
An obituary is a written notice of someone’s death, often including a brief biography and information about funeral or memorial arrangements. It’s typically published in newspapers and online memorial sites. Obituaries can serve as a way to inform the community of a person’s passing and celebrate their life.
Where are obituaries commonly published?
Obituaries are most commonly published in local newspapers, both in print and online versions. In today’s digital age, they can also be found on social media, memorial websites, and the websites of funeral homes.
Who writes an obituary?
Obituaries are usually written by a deceased person’s family members or friends. Sometimes, individuals write their own obituaries before they pass away. It’s not uncommon for newspaper staff or a funeral director to assist in writing one, based on information provided by the family.
What kind of information is included in an obituary?
An obituary commonly includes the full name of the deceased, their age, the date of their passing, the location of death, a summary of their life, their career, their hobbies, list of surviving family members, the time and place of any funeral services or memorial events, and sometimes a cause of death if the family wishes to include it.
Is an obituary legally required?
No, an obituary is not legally required. It is a tradition that serves to inform the community and commemorate the deceased but is not a formal legal document like a death certificate.
What is the difference between an obituary and a death notice?
While obituaries are longer and detail the life of the deceased, death notices are typically shorter and simply provide the bare facts such as the name, age, and information about the funeral services. Death notices are often placed in newspapers by the family through a funeral home and may require a fee.
Is there a standard length for an obituary?
There is no standard length for an obituary. They can range from a few lines in a newspaper column to a full-length piece that provides a detailed account of the individual’s life. The length may depend on the space available in the publication and the costs associated with longer articles.
Can obituaries be published online?
Yes, obituaries can be published online. This can be done through newspaper websites, memorial websites, social media, or through funeral home websites. Online obituaries often allow for additional interactive elements, such as guestbooks and photo collections.
How much does it generally cost to publish an obituary?
The cost to publish an obituary varies widely depending on the publication and its reach. Local newspapers may have fees based on length, while major metropolitan papers can charge significantly more. Some online sites offer free posting options. It's best to consult with the specific publication for their rates.
How soon after death should an obituary be published?
Obituaries are typically published within a week after a person’s death. This timeframe allows for friends and extended community members to be informed in time to attend any services. However, the timing can also be affected by the publication schedules of the chosen media.
Can anyone submit an obituary to a newspaper or website?
Most newspapers and websites have policies that allow submissions from either family members or the funeral home handling the services. They usually verify the information with a death certificate or through communication with the funeral home.
Are there templates or guidelines for writing an obituary?
Yes, many online resources and funeral homes provide templates or guidelines for writing obituaries. These templates can be helpful in ensuring that all appropriate information is included and presented in a respectful manner.
What is the importance of an obituary?
An obituary serves as both a notice of death and a historical record. It informs the community and celebrates the life of the individual, while also providing closure for grieving families. Obituaries can also be significant documents for genealogical research in the future.
Can an obituary include photographs?
Yes, obituaries can include photographs. Print newspapers often allow for a small photo of the deceased, while online obituaries may give the option to create a photo album or include multiple pictures. There may be additional costs for including photographs in print publications.
How can obituaries be personalized?
Obituaries can be personalized by mentioning the deceased’s hobbies, passions, achievements, and funny quirks or memories that reflect their personality. Including meaningful quotes, poems, or phrases can also add a personal touch that resonates with readers.
What should I do if I find a factual error in an obituary?
If there is a factual error in an obituary, you should contact the publication or the website host as soon as possible to correct the information. It’s important to address any misinformation promptly, especially concerning details about funeral arrangements.
Is it appropriate to mention a cause of death in an obituary?
Mentioning a cause of death in an obituary is a personal choice. Some families choose to include this information to provide closure or awareness about certain health conditions, while others may prefer to keep it private. There is no right or wrong approach—it’s solely at the family’s discretion.
Can friends or community members contribute to writing an obituary?
Yes, friends and community members can contribute to writing an obituary, especially if they were close to the deceased and wish to share anecdotes or meaningful memories. Collaborating can result in a more comprehensive and heartfelt tribute.
Should an obituary include information about memorial donations?
If the family has chosen to suggest donations to a chosen charity or cause in lieu of flowers, this information can be included in an obituary. Providing the name of the charity and any relevant contact information or links for making donations is helpful.
What can be done if a loved one dies without the means to pay for an obituary?
If a loved one dies and there is no budget for an obituary, many communities have free options through online forums, social media, or local newspapers that may publish death notices at reduced or no cost. It's also possible to post a heartfelt tribute on personal social media profiles to inform friends and family.
Is an obituary necessary for a private or family-only funeral?
An obituary can be published even for a private or family-only funeral. It informs the greater community of the person’s passing and allows others to grieve or offer support, even if they are not attending services. However, the family may choose to omit specific details of the private services or include a note that the funeral will be private.
