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 of the person's passing.
Why are obituaries important?
Obituaries serve as a way to honor and remember the deceased, while also providing important information to those who knew them. They help to notify people of the passing, share details about the funeral or memorial service, and offer a chance for loved ones to pay tribute and celebrate the person's life.
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 accurate and meaningful information about their life.
What information should be included in an obituary?
A typical obituary includes the person's name, age, date of birth and death, place of residence, occupation, education, hobbies, achievements, and surviving family members. It may also include details about the funeral or memorial service, charity donations, or other relevant information.
How long should an obituary be?
The length of an obituary can vary depending on the publication or platform. Generally, it should be concise and to the point, ranging from a few sentences to a short paragraph. Some online platforms may allow for longer obituaries or even full-length articles.
Can I include photos in an obituary?

How do I submit an obituary to a newspaper?
Contact the newspaper's obituary department directly to ask about their submission process and deadlines. You may need to provide the written obituary, along with any photos or other materials, by email or through an online portal.
Can I write my own obituary in advance?

What is an online obituary?

The timing of publishing an obituary varies depending on cultural traditions and personal preferences. Typically, it's published within a few days of the person's passing, but it can be delayed if necessary.
Can I republish an obituary at a later date?
In some cases, you may want to republish an obituary on special occasions like anniversaries or birthdays. Check with the original publication or platform for their policies on republication.
Are there any specific guidelines for writing an obituary for someone who was young or died unexpectedly?
