It's usually published in a newspaper, online obituary platform, or funeral home website to inform friends, family, and acquaintances of the person's passing.

Why are obituaries important?

Obituaries serve as a way to honor and remember the deceased, while also providing essential information to those who want to pay their respects. They help notify people of the passing, share details about the funeral or memorial service, and offer a chance for loved ones to express their condolences.

What information is typically included in an obituary?

Who writes an obituary?

In most cases, the obituary is written by the family members or close friends of the deceased. Funeral homes or online obituary platforms may also offer assistance in writing the obituary. In some instances, a professional writer or journalist may be hired to craft the obituary.

How long should an obituary be?

Can I include photos in an obituary?

Yes, many publications and online platforms allow you to include one or more photos with the obituary. This can be a great way to personalize the tribute and make it more engaging.

How do I submit an obituary to a newspaper?

Can I make changes to an already published obituary?

In most cases, it's possible to make corrections or updates to an already published obituary. However, this may depend on the publication's policies and deadlines.

What if I want to keep the obituary private?

If you prefer not to publicly announce the passing of your loved one, you can opt for a private or restricted-access online obituary. This way, only those with permission can view the tribute.

Can I include quotes or lyrics in an obituary?
