Frequently Asked Questions
What is an obituary?
An obituary is a written notice of a person’s death, often published in a newspaper or online, that typically includes a brief biography of the deceased, details about their family, their major life accomplishments, and information about the funeral or memorial services. Obituaries serve as a way to inform the broader community about a person's death and to celebrate their life.
How does an obituary differ from a death notice?
A death notice is a brief announcement of someone’s passing, which usually includes the name, age, place of residence, and time of death. It may also contain information about the funeral service. An obituary, on the other hand, is a more detailed account of the person's life and is often written in a more narrative style.
Who typically writes an obituary?
Obituaries are commonly written by family members or close friends of the deceased, sometimes with assistance from funeral directors. Professional writers or journalists may also write obituaries, especially for public figures or people who have had a significant impact on their community.
Where are obituaries published?
Obituaries can be published in a variety of platforms including local or national newspapers, online obituary websites, social media, and funeral home websites.
What should be included in an obituary?
An obituary typically includes the person's full name, age, place of birth, date of death, and a summary of their life story, including career, passions, and family relationships. It also provides details of the funeral or memorial service and may include special messages or requests, such as charitable donations in lieu of flowers.
How long should an obituary be?
The length of an obituary can vary, but it is generally between 200-500 words. The key is to convey the essential information about the deceased's life and death in a concise and respectful manner.
Is an obituary legally required?
No, publishing an obituary is not a legal requirement. It is a customary way to publicly acknowledge the death of a loved one and share their story.
How soon after a death should an obituary be published?
An obituary is typically published within a week of the person's death, often in time to inform people about the date and time of any upcoming services. However, the timing can vary depending on the preferences of the family or any delays in final arrangements.
Can an obituary be published before the funeral?
Yes, obituaries are often published before the funeral or memorial service in order to notify friends, family, and the community of the details so they may attend.
What is the cost to publish an obituary?
The cost can vary widely depending on the publication. Newspapers usually charge by the line, word, or inch, with long obituaries or those with pictures costing more. Online publications may have different pricing structures or, in some cases, may offer free postings.
Are there different types of obituaries?
Yes, there are several types of obituaries, ranging from traditional, narrative, and biographical to more modern versions that may include personal anecdotes, poems, or even interactive elements online.
Can an obituary be too personal?
While obituaries often contain personal information about the deceased, it is important to balance intimacy with respect for privacy. Revealing sensitive or potentially embarrassing details is not advised.
Should family disputes be mentioned in an obituary?
It is generally best to avoid mentioning family disputes or contentious issues in an obituary. The focus should be on celebrating the life of the deceased and offering a respectful acknowledgement of their passing.
How can I ensure the obituary is accurate?
To ensure accuracy, double-check all factual information such as dates, names, and places. Having another family member or close friend review the obituary can also help prevent errors.
Is it appropriate to include the cause of death?
Including the cause of death is a personal choice. Some families prefer to include this information, while others may choose to keep it private. If mentioned, it should be done so in a respectful and non-sensational manner.
Can an obituary reflect a person's sense of humor?
Yes, if it is in keeping with the spirit of the deceased, an obituary can reflect their sense of humor. However, it’s important to remain respectful and consider how the humor may be received by a wider audience.
What should I do if I notice a mistake in an obituary after it is published?
If you notice a mistake after an obituary has been published, contact the publication as soon as possible to see if a correction or retraction can be made.
Can I write my own obituary?
Yes, some people choose to write their own obituaries as a way to reflect on their life and ensure their story is told in their own words. This can also alleviate the burden on family members during a time of grief.
How do I submit an obituary to a newspaper or website?
Most newspapers and websites have specific guidelines for submitting an obituary. This typically involves contacting the publication directly, providing the text of the obituary, and possibly paying a fee. Check with the specific publication for their process and requirements.
Is it possible to include photographs in an obituary?
Yes, many publications allow photographs to be included with an obituary. There may be additional costs for this service, and quality guidelines for the photographs may apply.
What if our family cannot afford to publish an obituary?
If cost is a concern, consider using free online platforms or social media to share the obituary. Some newspapers also offer shorter, more affordable death notices that can still inform the community of your loss.
Is it appropriate to ask for donations in an obituary?
It is quite common for families to request charitable donations in lieu of flowers. If you choose to do this, be sure to provide the name and address or website of the charity within the obituary.
What can be done to make an obituary more special or unique?
To make an obituary more special, consider including meaningful quotes, favorite sayings, or a short anecdote that reflects the personality or values of the deceased. You can also add details about their hobbies, volunteer work, or the impact they had on others.
