Frequently Asked Questions
What is an obituary?
An obituary is a written notice of a person's death, usually including a brief biography highlighting significant events and achievements of the deceased's life. Obituaries are commonly published in newspapers and online memorial sites and serve as both a notification of death and a way to remember and honor the life of the deceased.
What information is typically included in an obituary?
Typical information included in an obituary may encompass the full name of the deceased, age, date of birth, date of death, a summary of their personal life and career, surviving family members, details about funeral arrangements or memorial services, and any special messages or thanks from the family.
Who writes obituaries?
Obituaries are often written by immediate family members or friends, though sometimes the task is delegated to funeral home staff or professional writers. Some individuals even choose to write their own obituary in advance.
How do you submit an obituary to a newspaper or website?
You can submit an obituary to a newspaper or website by contacting the publication's obituary department, either by phone, email, or through their online submission form. They will provide guidelines on length, format, submission deadlines, and fees if applicable.
Is there a cost associated with publishing an obituary?
Yes, in many cases, there are costs associated with publishing an obituary, particularly in print newspapers. Costs can vary widely depending on the publication, length of the obituary, and inclusion of photos. Some online memorial sites offer free or low-cost options.
What is the difference between an obituary and a death notice?
An obituary is a detailed remembrance that often includes a biography, while a death notice is a shorter, formal listing of death details including service times and family names without the biographical narrative.
How can I ensure an obituary is respectful and well-received?
To ensure an obituary is respectful and well-received, focus on celebrating the life of the deceased, honor their legacy with accurate and considerate language, and include heartfelt details that reflect the unique individual they were.
What is the appropriate length for an obituary?
The appropriate length for an obituary depends on where it will be published. Newspapers usually have word count restrictions and associated costs, while online obituaries may offer more flexibility. Regardless of the platform, aim for conciseness while sufficiently honoring the person's life.
Are photos typically included with obituaries?
Yes, photos are often included with obituaries, especially if they are being published online or in print with enough space. A picture can be a powerful way to celebrate the deceased’s life and make the obituary more personal.
Can I post an obituary for someone who died several years ago?
Yes, posthumous obituaries can be published, although these are more commonly found on online memorial sites. Such postings can serve as a place for collective memory and tribute long after the individual’s passing.
Is it necessary to include the cause of death in an obituary?
Including the cause of death is a personal choice and is not required. Many families choose to keep this information private, while others may include it to provide closure or raise awareness for a particular health condition or cause.
How soon after a death should an obituary be published?
An obituary should ideally be published as soon as the funeral arrangements have been made, so it often appears within a few days to a week after a person's death. This timing also helps to inform friends and the community of the death and any upcoming services.
What tone should an obituary have?
The tone of an obituary should be reflective of the individual’s life and personality. It often strikes a balance between somber respect and celebration of life. The tone should be professional, yet can include light-hearted or humorous anecdotes if appropriate.
Should an obituary include a request for donations or memorial contributions?
One may choose to include a request for donations to a charity or organization significant to the deceased instead of sending flowers. This is a common way to honor the deceased’s memory and support a cause they cared about.
Can an obituary be updated or edited after it is published?
Once an obituary is printed in a newspaper, it cannot usually be edited, but online obituaries often offer the possibility for updates or corrections. Always check with the publication regarding their specific policies.
Do all newspapers and online platforms have standard obituary formats?
Many newspapers and online platforms have their own standard formats for obituaries, which may include specific guidelines on length, style, and content. It's best to inquire directly with the publication for their particular requirements.
Is it possible to write and publish an obituary without a funeral home’s involvement?
Yes, it is possible to write and publish an obituary without the involvement of a funeral home. Individuals can submit obituaries directly to newspapers or online memorial sites, though there may be guidelines and fees to consider.
What should be done if an error is found in an obituary?
If an error is found in an obituary, contact the publication as soon as possible to request a correction. While some may not be able to amend printed versions, an online obituary can often be corrected quickly.
How can family members be listed respectfully in an obituary?
Family members are usually listed in a respectful manner by mentioning the closest relatives first, such as a spouse, children, and grandchildren, followed by extended family. It is common to acknowledge significant relationships, even those not bound by blood or marriage, if they were important in the deceased’s life.
What if the deceased had unconventional or difficult relationships?
In cases where the deceased had unconventional or difficult relationships, it's important to approach these sensitively. Some choose to omit certain details or relationships altogether, while others mention them in neutral terms. Ultimately, the language and information shared should represent the family's wishes while respecting the memory of the deceased.
