How soon after death should an obituary be published?
An obituary is commonly published within a few days to a week after death, allowing enough time for friends and family to be informed and to make arrangements to attend services.
Can an obituary be too long?
While there is no set rule for the length of an obituary, consider the potential cost when publishing in a newspaper and the attention span of readers. Focus on the most meaningful aspects of the person's life.
Should I mention charitable donations in an obituary?
Yes, it is customary to include a request for charitable donations in lieu of flowers if desired. Specify the name of the charity and any relevant instructions for making a donation.
