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 often used to share information about the deceased with family, friends, and community members.

Why are obituaries important?

Obituaries serve as a way to honor and remember the life of the deceased, while also providing important information to those who need it. They can help facilitate communication among loved ones, provide closure, and offer a sense of community during a difficult time.

Who typically writes an obituary?

In most cases, the family of the deceased or a close friend will write the obituary. However, funeral homes or mortuaries may also offer assistance in writing and publishing obituaries as part of their services.

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, hobbies, achievements, and surviving family members. You may also include funeral or memorial service details, charitable donations, or other relevant information.

How long should an obituary be?

The length of an obituary can vary depending on the publication or online platform. Generally, they range from a few sentences to several paragraphs. Aim for a concise yet meaningful summary of the person's life.

Can I include photos in an obituary?

Yes, many publications and online platforms allow you to include one or more photos with the obituary. This can help bring the person's memory to life and make the tribute more personal.

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

Check the submission guidelines for your chosen publication or platform. Typically, you'll need to provide the written obituary, along with any photos or additional materials required. Some funeral homes may also handle submissions on your behalf.

Is there a cost associated with publishing an obituary?

The cost varies depending on the publication or platform. Some newspapers and online sites offer free or low-cost obituary listings, while others may charge a fee based on the length or prominence of the notice.

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

In some cases, yes. Check with the publication or platform to see if they allow revisions or corrections. Be prepared to provide documentation supporting any changes you'd like to make.

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

The timeframe can vary significantly depending on the publication's schedule and deadlines. Online platforms may publish obituaries immediately, while print newspapers might take several days or even weeks.

Can I write an obituary for someone who has been deceased for a long time?

Absolutely! While traditional obituaries are typically published shortly after someone passes away, there's no rule against writing one for someone who has been deceased for years or even decades. This can be a meaningful way to honor their memory and share their story with others.

What's the difference between an obituary and a death notice?

A death notice is a brief announcement of someone's passing, usually including only essential details like name, age, and date of death. An obituary provides more extensive information about the person's life and legacy.

Can I include humorous or lighthearted elements in an obituary?

Absolutely! While an obituary should be respectful, it's also okay to inject some personality and humor into the writing. This can help celebrate the person's spirit and make the tribute more relatable and engaging.
