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 may also include information about their surviving family members, funeral or memorial service arrangements, and any charitable donations in lieu of flowers.
Why are obituaries important?
Obituaries serve as a way to share the news of a loved one's passing with friends, family, and community members. They provide an opportunity to celebrate the person's life, share memories, and offer condolences to those who are grieving. Obituaries can also be a valuable resource for genealogists and historians.
Who writes an obituary?
Typically, a family member or close friend writes the obituary, but it can also be written by a funeral home or a professional writer. The person writing the obituary should have a good understanding of the deceased person's life and personality.
What information should be included in an obituary?
A typical obituary includes the person's full name, age, date of birth and death, place of residence, occupation, education, military service (if applicable), hobbies, interests, and surviving family members. It may also include information about funeral or memorial service arrangements.
How long should an obituary be?
The length of an obituary can vary depending on the publication and the family's wishes. Typically, an obituary ranges from 100 to 500 words.
Can I include photos in an obituary?
Yes, many publications 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 meaningful.
How do I submit an obituary to a newspaper or online publication?
You can usually submit an obituary through the publication's website or by contacting their obituary department directly. Be sure to follow their guidelines for submission and payment.
How much does it cost to publish an obituary?
The cost of publishing an obituary varies widely depending on the publication, word count, and other factors. Expect to pay anywhere from $50 to $1,000 or more.
Can I write my own obituary in advance?

What is the difference between an obituary and a death notice?
A death notice is a brief announcement of someone's passing, typically including only the basic facts such as name, age, and date of death. An obituary is a longer, more detailed tribute that celebrates the person's life.
Can I include humor or personal anecdotes in an obituary?
Absolutely! An obituary is a great opportunity to showcase the person's personality and sense of humor. Including personal anecdotes and stories can make the tribute more engaging and memorable.
How do I handle sensitive or private information in an obituary?
If there are sensitive or private details that you don't want to share publicly, it's best to omit them or phrase them carefully. Remember that an obituary is intended to be a celebration of the person's life, not a tell-all.
Can I include quotes or lyrics in an obituary?
Yes, including quotes or lyrics that were meaningful to the person can add depth and personality to the tribute. Just be sure to obtain any necessary permissions or credits.
What if I need to make corrections or changes to an already-published obituary?
Contact the publication directly and they will guide you through their process for making corrections or updates. Be prepared to provide documentation supporting the changes.
Can I republish an obituary online or in multiple newspapers?
Yes, many publications offer options for republishing an obituary online or in multiple newspapers. Check with each publication for their policies and fees.
How long does it take for an obituary to be published?
The timeframe for publication varies depending on the publication's schedule and deadlines. Online publications may publish immediately, while print newspapers may take several days or weeks.
Can I request a proof copy of the obituary before it's published?
Some publications offer proof copies or previews before publication. Be sure to ask about this option when submitting your obituary.
What if I'm unsure about what to include or how to write an obituary?
Dont worry! Many funeral homes and online resources offer guidance and templates to help you write an obituary. You can also ask a friend or family member for assistance.
Is it possible to publish an anonymous obituary?
In most cases, no. Obituaries typically require verification of the person's identity and connection to the submitter. However, there may be exceptions for certain circumstances such as anonymous donors or public figures.
Can I include information about charitable donations in lieu of flowers?
Absolutely! Including this information can be a meaningful way to honor the person's memory and support a cause they cared about.
How do I ensure that all relevant family members are notified about the passing?
Making sure all family members are informed can be challenging. Consider creating a list of contacts and designating someone to reach out to each person personally.
What if there is conflict within the family about what to include in the obituary?
In cases of conflict, it may be helpful to involve a neutral third party such as a funeral director or counselor to facilitate communication and decision-making.
Can I create an online memorial or tribute page in addition to publishing an obituary?
Yes! Online memorial pages can provide a space for friends and family to share memories and condolences beyond what's possible in a traditional print obituary.
How long will an online obituary remain available?
The duration of online availability varies depending on the publication's policies. Some may keep archives indefinitely, while others may remove them after a certain period of time.
