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 serves as a way to share the news of a loved one's passing with friends, family, and community.

Why are obituaries important?

Obituaries play a significant role in honoring the life of the deceased, providing closure for those who are grieving, and serving as a historical record of the person's life. They also help to notify others of the passing and provide details about funeral services or memorial events.

Who writes an obituary?

Typically, a family member or close friend writes an obituary, but it can also be written by a funeral home or a professional obituary writer. The writer should have a good understanding of the person's life and be able to convey their personality, accomplishments, and relationships.

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), hobbies, interests, and surviving family members. You may also want to include a brief biography, achievements, or notable accomplishments.

How long should an obituary be?

The length of an obituary can vary depending on the publication or online platform. Typically, it should be between 100-500 words. Keep in mind that some publications may charge by the word or line, so it's essential to check their guidelines beforehand.

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

A death notice is a brief announcement of someone's passing, usually including only basic information such as name, age, and date of death. An obituary, on the other hand, provides more detailed information about the person's life and legacy.

Can I include photos in an obituary?

Yes, many publications and online platforms allow you to include one or multiple photos with the obituary. This can help personalize the tribute and make it more engaging for readers.

How do I submit an obituary to a newspaper or online platform?

Contact the publication or platform directly to inquire about their submission process and guidelines. Some may accept submissions online, while others may require email or phone submissions. Be prepared to provide the written obituary and any accompanying photos.

How much does it cost to publish an obituary?

The cost varies depending on the publication or platform. Some newspapers may charge by the word or line, while others may offer package deals or discounts for online-only publications. Online platforms may offer free or paid options with varying levels of features.

Can I write an obituary before someone passes away?

Yes, it's possible to write an obituary in advance. This can be especially helpful for individuals who want to have control over how they are remembered or want to spare their loved ones from having to write it during a difficult time.

How do I find an old obituary?

You can try searching online archives of newspapers or genealogy websites. Many libraries also maintain archives of local newspapers that can be searched in person. Additionally, you can contact the funeral home that handled the arrangements to see if they have a copy of the obituary.

Can I edit an obituary after it's been published?

In most cases, it's not possible to make changes to an obituary once it's been published. However, if there's a significant error or inaccuracy, you may be able to request a correction from the publication or platform.

What is a living obituary?

A living obituary is a self-written tribute that celebrates one's own life while they are still alive. It can serve as a way to reflect on accomplishments and experiences, as well as provide guidance for those who will eventually write their traditional obituary.

How do I write a good obituary?

A good obituary should be honest, respectful, and informative. Focus on capturing the person's personality, highlighting their achievements and passions, and including meaningful anecdotes or quotes.

Can I include humor in an obituary?

Yes! Humor can be an effective way to celebrate someone's life and personality. Just be sure to use discretion and avoid anything that might offend or upset readers.

What is the purpose of an obituary headline?

An obituary headline serves as a title for the tribute and should accurately reflect the content of the obituary. It's usually centered above the main text and can include the person's name, age, and/or a brief description of their life.

Can I include charitable donations in an obituary?

Yes! Many people choose to include information about charitable donations in lieu of flowers in their loved one's memory. This can be a meaningful way to continue their legacy and support causes they cared about.

How do I handle sensitive information in an obituary?

If there are sensitive topics or controversies surrounding the person's life or death, it's essential to approach them with tact and respect. Consider consulting with family members or friends before including potentially sensitive information.

Can I write an obituary for someone who didn't want one?

If someone explicitly stated they didn't want an obituary, it's generally best to respect their wishes. However, if you feel that writing an obituary would be beneficial for those who are grieving or would like to honor their memory, consider discussing it with other family members or friends first.

How long does it take for an online obituary to be published?

The publication timeline varies depending on the platform or website. Some may publish immediately upon submission, while others may take several hours or days for review and approval.

Can I share an obituary on social media?

Yes! Sharing an obituary on social media can help spread the news quickly and reach a wider audience. Many online platforms provide easy sharing options for Facebook, Twitter, and other popular social media sites.

What happens if there are errors in an online obituary?

If you notice errors in an online obituary, contact the platform or website directly to report the issue. They should be able to correct the mistakes promptly.

Can I create a memorial website instead of publishing an obituary?

Yes! Memorial websites offer a more personalized way to celebrate someone's life and legacy. They often include photos, stories, videos, and other multimedia elements that can be shared with friends and family.

How do I deal with grief when writing an obituary?

Writing an obituary can be a challenging task while grieving. Take your time, gather your thoughts, and consider seeking support from friends, family, or a professional counselor if needed.

Can I reuse an existing obituary template?

Yes! You can use existing templates as a guide to help structure your writing. However, be sure to customize it to fit your loved one's unique personality and story.

What is the significance of including survivors in an obituary?
