Frequently Asked Questions
What is an obituary?
An obituary is a written notice of a person's death, often including a brief biography of their life, achievements, and information about the upcoming funeral or memorial services. It's a way to formally acknowledge someone's passing and to inform the community of the loss.
Where are obituaries usually published?
Obituaries are commonly published in local newspapers, on online memorial sites, and sometimes in professional or organization newsletters. Today, social media platforms have also become a place where people share obituaries or remembrances of deceased loved ones.
What is the difference between an obituary and a death notice?
An obituary is more detailed and usually includes a biography of the deceased, while a death notice is a shorter announcement that serves to inform the public of the person’s passing, with details of the funeral service and possibly short information about the deceased.
Who writes an obituary?
Obituaries can be written by family members, friends, or sometimes by the funeral home handling the arrangements. In some cases, individuals pre-write their obituaries to ensure their life is captured as they wish.
What should be included in an obituary?
An obituary typically includes the full name of the deceased, their age, the date of their death, and sometimes the cause of death. It often contains a brief account of their personal life, career, and legacy, as well as details of the surviving family members and funeral service arrangements.
Is it necessary to mention the cause of death in an obituary?
No, mentioning the cause of death is not necessary and is entirely up to the family's preference. Some choose to include it for transparency or to bring awareness to certain health conditions, while others prefer to keep that information private.
Can an obituary include photographs?
Yes, many obituaries include a photograph of the deceased. This can be a recent picture or an older one that the family feels best represents their loved one.
How long after a death is an obituary published?
Obituaries are typically published within a few days to a week after the person's passing, often to coincide with the planning of funeral services, but the timing can vary depending on family wishes or publication schedules.
Are there costs associated with publishing an obituary?
Yes, most newspapers charge a fee to publish an obituary, which can vary widely based on length, inclusion of a photograph, and geographical location. Online postings and social media shares, however, can often be done for free or at a lower cost.
How can I submit an obituary to a newspaper?
To submit an obituary to a newspaper, contact the paper's obituary department for submission guidelines, deadlines, and fees. Newspapers typically require verification of death, which can be provided by the funeral home or through a death certificate.
What can I do if I want a more personalized obituary than the newspaper allows?
For a more personalized obituary, consider publishing on online memorial sites or use social media. These platforms are less restrictive, allowing for more creativity and personal touches to honor the deceased in a manner that truly reflects their life and personality.
Can obituaries be written for people who have been missing and presumed dead?
Yes, obituaries can be written for individuals who are missing and presumed dead, although the publishing standards may vary. They are often written as a way for families to find closure and to commemorate the life of the missing person.
Is it appropriate to include anecdotes or humor in an obituary?
Including anecdotes or humor is a personal choice and can be appropriate if it aligns with the personality of the deceased and is presented tastefully. Such elements can offer a unique glimpse into the individual's character and make the obituary more engaging.
How do obituaries serve as historical records?
Obituaries document the lives of individuals, providing future generations with important genealogical information. They can serve as a historical record of a person’s existence, significant life events, and connections within the community.
What advice is there for someone struggling to write an obituary?
If you're struggling to write an obituary, start by gathering basic information and then move on to more personal details. Seek input from other family members and friends, and consider looking at other obituaries for inspiration. If it's too challenging, you may also hire a professional writer or work with the funeral home for assistance.
Can you update an obituary after it has been published?
Once an obituary has been published in print, it cannot be updated. However, online obituaries and social media posts can often be edited if additional information is needed or if an error is found.
Are there any legal requirements for publishing an obituary?
There are no legal requirements for publishing an obituary. It is entirely voluntary and done according to the wishes of the family or the deceased (if pre-arranged before death).
What is the etiquette for announcing the death of a prominent figure?
The etiquette for announcing the death of a prominent figure typically involves official statements from family members, their representatives, or organizations associated with the individual. It's common to handle these announcements with respect and formality given their public stature.
How do cultural differences impact the content and style of obituaries?
Cultural differences can significantly impact the content and style of obituaries, as different cultures have varying customs and traditions regarding death. This diversity can influence the tone, length, and details included in an obituary, as well as the rituals surrounding death and mourning.
Is it acceptable to share an obituary on social media?
Sharing an obituary on social media is generally acceptable and has become a common way to inform a broad network of the death quickly. It's important to ensure that close family members and friends are informed first in a more private manner before making a public announcement.
What are some ways to handle erroneous information found in an obituary?
If erroneous information is found in an obituary, contact the publisher as soon as possible to request a correction. In the case of online obituaries, the content can often be edited directly or through the website administrator.
