What information should be included in an obituary?

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

A death notice is a brief announcement of a person's passing, typically including only basic information such as name, age, and date of death. An obituary is a longer, more detailed tribute that celebrates the person's life and achievements.

In some cases, yes. If there are errors or omissions in the original obituary, it may be possible to correct or update it. However, this may not always be possible, especially if it's been published in print.

What if I'm unsure about certain details in the obituary?

If you're unsure about dates, names, or other details in the obituary, it's better to err on the side of caution and leave them out rather than risk publishing incorrect information.

How do I preserve an obituary for future generations?

You can preserve an obituary by saving a physical copy, taking a screenshot of the online version, or creating a digital archive. You can also consider creating a memory book or scrapbook with copies of the obituary and other mementos.
