How can I make an obituary more personal?
To make an obituary more personal, include anecdotes, personal stories, favorite quotes, or expressions of the deceased’s personality and spirit. Share what they loved, what moved them, and how they impacted those around them.
What if I can't afford to publish an obituary in the newspaper?
