Frequently Asked Questions
What is an obituary?
An obituary is a notice, typically published in a newspaper or online, that announces a person's death and provides a brief account of their life, including information about survivorship, funeral arrangements, and any ceremonies honoring the deceased. The tone is both respectful and informative, serving as a tribute to the person who has passed away.
What is typically included in an obituary?
An obituary generally includes the full name of the deceased, their age at the time of death, the date and place of death, a list of surviving relatives, a brief overview of their life story, significant achievements, and details of the funeral or memorial services. It may also include a photograph of the deceased.
Who writes an obituary?
Obituaries can be written by family members, friends, or the funeral home handling the arrangements. In some cases, individuals write their own obituaries in advance as part of their end-of-life planning.
How is an obituary different from a death notice?
While both an obituary and a death notice inform the public of someone's passing, a death notice is typically shorter and more factual, often consisting only of the person’s name, age, place of residence, and information about the funeral services. An obituary is more expansive, providing a detailed biography and personal anecdotes.
Is it mandatory to publish an obituary?
No, publishing an obituary is not a legal requirement. It is a personal choice for the family or individuals close to the deceased to decide whether they wish to announce the death publicly and share the memories and accomplishments of their loved one.
What are the benefits of publishing an obituary?
Publishing an obituary serves several purposes: it notifies friends and the community of the person's death, celebrates the life of the deceased, provides a record for future generations, and announces the details of any services or memorials.
How can I submit an obituary to a local newspaper?
You can submit an obituary to a local newspaper by contacting their obituaries department, which will provide you with submission guidelines, such as length, format, and cost. Many newspapers accept online submissions as well.
What should I do if I find an error in an obituary I submitted?
If an error is discovered in an obituary you've submitted, you should immediately contact the newspaper or website where it was published to request a correction. They will guide you through the process based on their policies.
Can an obituary be published in multiple newspapers or online platforms?
Yes, an obituary can be published in more than one newspaper or on multiple online platforms. This is often done to reach a wider audience, especially if the deceased had connections in different communities or regions.
How long does an obituary stay online?
The longevity of an online obituary depends on the platform hosting it. Some newspapers keep obituaries accessible indefinitely, while others may archive them after a certain period. Dedicated memorial websites can offer permanent online obituaries.
Is there a standard length for an obituary?
There is no standard length for an obituary; it can be as short or as detailed as desired to adequately honor the individual. However, newspaper obituaries might be subject to space constraints and, therefore, might have a word limit. Online obituaries generally offer more flexibility in length.
How soon after a death should an obituary be published?
An obituary is typically published as soon as possible after death, often within a few days. This timing helps inform people about any upcoming services. However, the timeline can vary based on family wishes, religious practices, or other circumstances.
Can I include charitable donations in an obituary?
Yes, it's common to include a request for charitable donations in lieu of flowers. The obituary should specify the charity's name and, if desired, instructions on how to contribute.
What should be avoided in an obituary?
In an obituary, it's advisable to avoid including sensitive personal information that could be misused, such as exact birthdates or addresses. It's also recommended to be mindful of the tone, making sure it respects the deceased's memory and the feelings of their loved ones.
Are obituaries fact-checked?
While newspapers usually perform some fact-checking, the primary responsibility for accuracy lies with the person who writes and submits the obituary. It's important to verify all details before publication to avoid any errors.
Can an obituary be written for someone who died years ago?
Yes, an obituary can be written and published posthumously, even years after someone's death. These are sometimes referred to as memorial notices and can serve as a way to commemorate an anniversary of the death or to share the person’s story with a new audience.
Is it acceptable to include humor in an obituary?
Humor can be included in an obituary if it fittingly reflects the personality of the deceased and is done in a tasteful manner that considers the feelings of all who will read it.
How do I decide what to include about the deceased's life?
To decide on what to include, consider the most significant aspects of the deceased's life, such as their relationships, achievements, personal interests, and the impact they had on others. Aim to capture the essence of the person in a way that feels authentic and meaningful.
Can family disputes affect the content of an obituary?
Family disputes can complicate the writing of an obituary. It's best to communicate openly and work towards an agreement on how to represent the deceased. If consensus can't be reached, focusing on undeniable facts and avoiding contentious topics is usually the safest approach.
Should children be listed in an obituary?
Children, including stepchildren, foster children, and grandchildren, are commonly listed in an obituary with parental permission. It's a way to acknowledge the family members closest to the deceased.
How should survivors be listed in an obituary?
Survivors are often listed in a hierarchical order starting with the closest relations, such as a spouse, children, and siblings. It is typically done in a respectful manner that acknowledges significant relationships without disclosing overly personal information.
What if there are no funeral services planned?
If there are no funeral services planned, you can simply state this fact in the obituary. Alternatively, you can mention that a private service will take place or note if there will be a celebration of life or memorial service at a later date.
Can I include quotes or religious texts in an obituary?
Yes, quotes, poems, or religious texts that were meaningful to the deceased or offer comfort to the survivors can be included in an obituary. This personal touch can add depth and sentiment to the final tribute.
