Frequently Asked Questions
What is an obituary?
An obituary is a written notice that announces the death of a person, typically including their name, age, date of birth and death, and a brief biography. It's usually published in a newspaper, online obituary platform, or funeral home website to inform friends, family, and community members of the person's passing.
Why are obituaries important?
Obituaries serve as a way to honor and celebrate the life of the deceased, while also providing essential information to those who want to pay their respects. They help to notify people of the passing, share details about the funeral or memorial service, and provide an opportunity for loved ones to share stories and memories.
Who writes an obituary?
Typically, the family of the deceased or a close friend writes the obituary. In some cases, a funeral home or obituary writer may assist with writing the obituary. The writer should be someone who knew the person well and can provide an accurate and meaningful tribute.
What information should be included in an obituary?
A standard obituary should include the person's full name, age, date of birth and death, place of residence, occupation, education, military service (if applicable), surviving family members, and any notable achievements or hobbies. You may also include information about the funeral or memorial service, charity donations, or other relevant details.
How long should an obituary be?

Can I include photos in an obituary?
Yes, many publications and online platforms allow you to include one or more photos with the obituary. This can be a great way to personalize the tribute and make it more engaging for readers.
How do I submit an obituary to a newspaper?

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

Can I include quotes or lyrics in an obituary?
Absolutely! Including meaningful quotes, lyrics, or poems can add depth and personality to the obituary. Just ensure you have permission to use copyrighted material.
What if I want to keep the funeral private?

How do I find old obituaries?

Can I include humor in an obituary?
Absolutely! Humor can be a wonderful way to celebrate someone's life and personality. Just be sure to consider the tone and audience when adding humorous elements.
What if I'm not comfortable writing an obituary myself?
