Janie Marie had a laugh that was absolutely contagious. While she had no children of her own, she took all the love she had and spoiled her nieces and nephew.

Funeral Obituaries

Funeral obituaries typically include details regarding the funeral service—date, time, location, etc. Often, they offer insights into the deceased's life—anecdotes, accomplishments, and survivors left behind.

Cremation Obituaries

Cremation obituaries closely resemble traditional ones but might contain further information about later ceremonies to scatter or inter the ashes.

Cemetery Obituaries

For those choosing a burial, cemetery obituaries often detail the burial proceedings and the cemetery's location.

Creating the Perfect Cabarrus Obituary

Writing an obituary is no small task. You're attempting to distil a life’s worth of experiences into a single document. Here are a few pointers:

• Keep it Personal: The best obituaries capture the essence of the deceased, portraying their character and the impact they had on their community.

• Provide Vital Information: Crucial details, such as dates of birth and death, surviving family members, and service details should be included.

• Tell a Story: Narrate their life's journey, recount an anecdote, or describe their passions. It helps the readers to connect with the deceased's life.

• Proofread: Ensure that the obituary is error-free. It's a final tribute and deserves to be flawless.
