How long should an obituary be?

Obituaries can vary in length but typically range from a few sentences to several paragraphs. Length may be dictated by the publication's requirements or the family's preference for detail.

Is an obituary legally required?

No, obituaries are not legally required. However, they are a widely practiced tradition for honoring the deceased and informing the community of the death.

What is the difference between an obituary and a death notice?

A death notice is a shorter, more straightforward announcement of a person's death, which may simply list the name, date of death, and details about the funeral services. An obituary is more detailed and often includes a biography and personal tributes.

Where are obituaries published?

Obituaries are commonly published in local newspapers, online obituary websites, and on social media. Funeral homes also often provide space for obituaries on their sites.

Can an obituary be published after the funeral?

What are the costs associated with publishing an obituary?

Publishing an obituary in a newspaper can cost depending on the publication's rates, the length of the obituary, and any additional features like photos. Some online platforms may offer free or lower-cost options.

What if I can't afford to publish an obituary?

If cost is an issue, consider shorter notices, free community postings, social media, or the website of the funeral home handling the services. Community organizations and churches might also be willing to share the information at no cost.

To personalize an obituary, include anecdotes, personal stories, quotes, or poems that reflect the personality and values of the deceased. Adding details about hobbies, passions, and community involvement can also provide a unique touch.

Are there any cultural considerations to keep in mind when writing an obituary?

Yes, cultural considerations are important. Respect for the deceased person's traditions and customs should guide the content and tone of the obituary. It's also important to be aware of any cultural sensitivities, particularly when including personal details and photographs.

Can obituaries be updated or corrected after they have been published?

While newspapers and websites may accommodate corrections to obituaries, it's best to thoroughly review and fact-check the information before publication to minimize the need for updates.

Is it appropriate to mention the cause of death in an obituary?

Mentioning the cause of death in an obituary is a personal choice and depends on the family's preferences. Some families choose to include this information, especially if it relates to a larger issue or cause they wish to highlight, while others prefer to keep it private.

How quickly should an obituary be published after a death?

It's common to publish an obituary within a few days of the death to inform the community and announce any services. However, the timing can vary based on family wishes, cultural practices, or any logistical considerations.

What should I do if I notice an error in an obituary?

If you see an error in an obituary, contact the publication or website where it appears as soon as possible to request a correction. If you are a family member or have close ties to the deceased, it might be more appropriate for you to handle the request.

Can anyone submit an obituary to a newspaper or website?

Most newspapers and websites have guidelines for submitting obituaries. Typically, family members, funeral homes, or legal representatives are the ones authorized to submit them. Always check with the specific publication's policies beforehand.
