An obituary is a written notice of a person's death, typically published in a newspaper or online. It often includes a brief account of the deceased's life, details about surviving family members, and information about funeral or memorial services.
What details are usually included in an obituary?
An obituary often contains the full name of the deceased, age, date of death, a summary of their life's achievements, family members, funeral service details, and sometimes cause of death. Many also include a photo of the deceased.
Is there a difference between an obituary and a death notice?
Yes, an obituary is generally a more detailed account of a person's life and is often written by a staff writer at a newspaper or by the family, while a death notice is a shorter, more formal announcement of death, often placed by the family and paid for as an advertisement.
Who writes obituaries?
Obituaries can be written by family members, friends, or newspaper staff. Some people even choose to write their own obituaries before they die to ensure their lives are captured as they wish.
Where are obituaries published?
Obituaries are typically published in local newspapers, online memorial sites, and through social media platforms. Additionally, some families may choose to print obituaries in funeral programs or prayer cards.
Are obituaries free to publish?
It depends on the publication. Many newspapers charge a fee based on the length of the obituary and whether a photo is included. Online postings can range from free to various price points.
Can anyone submit an obituary for publication?
While anyone can submit an obituary, most publications have verification processes to ensure that the information is accurate and that the submission is authorized by the family or representatives of the deceased.
What should I do if I find a factual error in an obituary?
If you find an error, you should contact the newspaper or website that published the obituary as soon as possible to correct the information. It is important to provide documentation or evidence to support the correct information.
How long do newspapers keep obituaries archived?
Most newspapers keep obituaries archived indefinitely online. However, the paper archives may vary, and some older archives may only be accessible through local libraries or historical societies.
Is it appropriate to include cause of death in an obituary?
Including the cause of death in an obituary is a personal choice. Some families choose to include it for transparency or to raise awareness for certain health conditions, while others prefer to keep this information private.
How can I submit an obituary to a newspaper?
To submit an obituary to a newspaper, you should contact the paper's obituary department for submission guidelines, pricing, and deadlines. Many newspapers also provide online submission forms.
Can I write my own obituary?
Yes, many people opt to write their own obituaries in advance. This is an opportunity to reflect on your life's journey and to highlight what you feel are the most important aspects of your life story.
How do I write an obituary for someone who lived a difficult life?
When writing an obituary for someone who lived a difficult life, focus on the positive aspects of their personality and life. Offer a respectful and honest tribute by acknowledging their struggles alongside their achievements and the love they had for their family and friends.
Should I mention predeceased and surviving family members?
Listing both predeceased and surviving family members is traditional in obituaries, as it offers a sense of the family's history and can be a comfort to readers who knew different generations.
How do I handle writing an obituary for someone with a complicated family situation?
In cases of complicated family dynamics, when writing an obituary, it's important to be as inclusive as possible without causing further distress. Focus on the deceased's life and accomplishments, and when listing family members, try to be fair and respectful of all parties involved.
What tone should an obituary have?
The tone of an obituary should be respectful and reflective of the deceased's life. It can range from solemn and formal to more personal and light-hearted, depending on the personality and wishes of the deceased and their family.
How important is accuracy in an obituary?
Accuracy is extremely important in an obituary as it serves as a historical record. Dates, names, relationships, and achievements should all be double-checked for accuracy.
Are there any privacy concerns with publishing an obituary?
Privacy can be a concern, especially in the digital age. Families should be mindful of the information they include, such as exact addresses or details that might lead to identity theft or other security issues.
Can I include a request for charitable donations in an obituary?
It's common to include a request for donations to a charity in lieu of flowers in an obituary. It's a way to honor the deceased's memory and support causes they cared about.
What should I avoid including in an obituary?
In addition to privacy concerns, avoid details that might be considered too personal, embarrassing, or distressing for family members and readers. It's also wise to avoid airing grievances or settling scores in an obituary.
How can I make an obituary more personal?
To make an obituary more personal, include anecdotes, personal stories, favorite quotes, or expressions of the deceased’s personality and spirit. Share what they loved, what moved them, and how they impacted those around them.
What if I can't afford to publish an obituary in the newspaper?
If the cost of publishing an obituary in the newspaper is prohibitive, consider other options like online memorial sites, social media, or the websites of community organizations or the funeral home handling the services. These alternatives can often be free or lower cost.
