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.

Why are obituaries important?
Obituaries serve as a way to honor and celebrate the life of the deceased, while also providing essential information to those who need to know about the passing. They help to notify people of the funeral or memorial service arrangements, allowing them to pay their respects and offer condolences to the family.
Who writes an obituary?
Typically, the obituary is written by a family member or close friend of the deceased, often with the assistance of a funeral home or obituary writer. In some cases, the deceased may have written their own obituary in advance.
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, such as the date, time, location, and any special requests or instructions.
How long should an obituary be?
The length of an obituary can vary depending on the publication or platform it will be published on. Generally, it should be concise and to the point, ranging from a few sentences to a few paragraphs at most.

How do I handle errors or inaccuracies in an obituary?
If you notice mistakes in an already-published obituary, contact the publication or platform immediately to report the error. They will work with you to correct it as soon as possible.
Can I republish an obituary on social media?
Yes! Sharing an obituary on social media can help spread the word quickly and reach a wider audience. Be sure to respect any copyright restrictions or guidelines set by the original publication.
What is the purpose of an obituary headline?
The headline serves as a brief summary of the person's life and helps readers quickly identify who has passed away. It should be concise yet informative.
Can I include humor in an obituary?
Absolutely! Humor can be an effective way to capture the personality and spirit of the deceased. Just be mindful of tone and audience sensitivity.
How do I write an obituary for someone who was private or reclusive?
In this case, focus on sharing general information about their life without revealing too much personal detail. You may also choose to omit certain specifics out of respect for their privacy.
Can I include quotes or lyrics in an obituary?
Yes! Quotes or lyrics that resonate with the deceased's personality or values can add depth and meaning to the tribute. Just ensure they are relevant and respectful.
What is the role of an obituary writer?
An obituary writer assists families in crafting a well-written tribute that honors their loved one. They may work independently or through funeral homes to create personalized obituaries.
