Frequently Asked Questions
What is an obituary?
An obituary is a written announcement that typically appears in newspapers or on digital memorial platforms to inform the public of someone's passing. It serves to celebrate the life of the deceased, outline their accomplishments, and announce any funeral or memorial service details.
What is the difference between an obituary and a death notice?
An obituary is a detailed account of a person's life, including their biography, achievements, and information about their family. In contrast, a death notice is a more straightforward announcement of someone's passing that may only include basic details such as their name, date of death, and service information, often placed by the family directly.
Who is responsible for writing an obituary?
Typically, a close family member or friend takes on the task of writing an obituary. However, in some cases, individuals pre-write their own obituaries or assign the task to a trusted person as part of their final arrangements.
What information is typically included in an obituary?
An obituary generally includes the full name of the deceased, their age, place of birth, names of surviving family members, a brief biography, notable achievements, date of death, and details regarding the funeral or memorial service.
Should an obituary include the cause of death?
Including the cause of death in an obituary is optional and based on the preference of the family. Some choose to include it for transparency or to raise awareness for certain health issues, while others may prefer to keep this information private.
How do you write a respectful obituary?
To write a respectful obituary, focus on the life and positive attributes of the deceased, being truthful yet considerate of sensitive details. Use language that honors their memory and avoid addressing controversies or unresolved family matters.
Can you mention predeceased family members in an obituary?
Yes, it's common to mention predeceased family members, especially immediate relatives like spouses, parents, and children. This helps to provide a sense of the deceased's family background and connections.
How do you list survivors in an obituary?
Survivors are usually listed starting with the closest relations first (spouse, children, grandchildren), followed by extended family members (siblings, nieces, nephews). Include full names and the relationship to the deceased to clearly indicate family structure.
What is the significance of an obituary?
An obituary is significant because it recognizes the life and contributions of the deceased, while also serving as a historical record for future generations. It also helps to notify the community and friends of the passing and provide details for those who wish to pay their respects.
How long should an obituary be?
The length of an obituary can vary but ideally should be concise enough to convey essential information while also being comprehensive enough to respectfully honor the individual’s life. Newspapers often restrict length based on space and cost.
Is it necessary to include a photo in an obituary?
While not necessary, including a photo can add a personal touch and helps readers to connect with the deceased, especially if they were known by many in the community. If you choose to include one, select a recent and recognizable photo that reflects the individual's spirit.
Can friends write an obituary?
Yes, friends can write an obituary, especially if they were close to the deceased or if the family has requested their assistance. It’s important that the obituary accurately reflects the individual's life and has the family’s approval.
How do you acknowledge special relationships in an obituary?
You can acknowledge special relationships by naming significant people outside the immediate family, such as life partners, godchildren, or close family friends, and describing their relationship to the deceased (e.g., "like a brother" or "trusted confidant").
Should an obituary mention the deceased’s profession or career?
Including the profession or notable career achievements can be an important aspect of honoring the deceased's life, especially if their work was a significant part of their identity or had an impact on the community.
What tone should an obituary have?
The tone of an obituary should be respectful and celebratory of the deceased's life. It should express the sadness of loss but also offer a positive reflection on the individual's achievements and personal qualities.
Is it appropriate to include a request for donations to a charitable organization?
It is common and appropriate to include a request for donations to a charitable organization, especially if the cause was important to the deceased or if the family prefers donations in lieu of flowers.
How do families handle disagreements over obituary content?
In the case of disagreements, it’s important for family members to communicate openly and prioritize honoring the wishes and the legacy of the deceased. Seeking a compromise or appointing a neutral party, such as a family friend or spiritual advisor, to mediate can be helpful.
When should an obituary be published?
An obituary should be published as soon as practical after the death, typically within a few days, to allow time for acquaintances to make arrangements to attend services or reach out to the family.
What if the deceased did not want an obituary?
If the deceased explicitly did not want an obituary, it's important to respect their wishes. Instead, the family could consider sending private communications to inform friends and relatives or holding a private memorial service.
Can an obituary be updated or corrected after publication?
Yes, if errors are identified or important details were omitted, most publications will allow for updates or corrections. However, it's best to review the obituary carefully before publication to minimize the need for changes.
Does an obituary have to be published in a newspaper?
No, it does not have to be published in a newspaper. With the rise of the internet, many families opt to publish obituaries online through social media, digital memorial sites, or funeral home websites, where they can often provide longer content with less concern for cost.
