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 other biographical information. It may also include details about their life, achievements, and surviving family members.

Why are obituaries important?

Obituaries serve as a way to inform friends, family, and community members of a person's passing, allowing them to pay their respects and offer condolences. They also provide a permanent record of a person's life and legacy.

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. In some cases, the deceased person 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, military service, hobbies, and surviving family members. It may also include details about their life story, achievements, and accomplishments.

How long should an obituary be?

The length of an obituary can vary depending on the publication and the family's preferences. Typically, it ranges from a few sentences to several paragraphs.

Can I include photos in an obituary?

Yes, many publications allow you to include one or more photos with the obituary. This can be a meaningful way to personalize the tribute and help readers remember the person who has passed away.

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

The submission process varies depending on the publication or platform. You can usually find guidelines on their website or by contacting their customer service department directly.

How much does it cost to publish an obituary?

The cost of publishing an obituary varies widely depending on the publication, word count, and other factors. Some newspapers and online platforms offer free or low-cost options, while others may charge several hundred dollars or more.

Can I write my own obituary in advance?

Yes, many people choose to write their own obituary in advance as a way to take control of how they want to be remembered. This can also help alleviate the burden on their loved ones during a difficult time.

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 the most basic information. An obituary is a longer, more detailed tribute that provides a fuller picture of the person's life.

Can I include humor or personality in an obituary?

Absolutely! An obituary is a celebration of the person's life, so it's perfectly appropriate to include humorous anecdotes or personality traits that made them unique.

How do I handle sensitive or private information in an obituary?

If there are sensitive or private details that you're unsure about including, it's best to err on the side of caution and omit them or discuss them with family members before publishing.

Can I include charitable donations or memorial information in an obituary?

Yes, many families choose to include information about charitable donations or memorial services in the obituary as a way to honor their loved one's memory.

How long after someone passes away should I wait before publishing an obituary?

The timing varies depending on cultural and personal traditions. Typically, an obituary is published within a few days to a week after the person's passing.

Can I publish an obituary online only?

Yes, many online platforms allow you to publish an obituary exclusively online. This can be a cost-effective and environmentally friendly option.

What if I need to make corrections or updates to an already-published obituary?

Contact the publication or platform where the obituary was published and provide the necessary corrections. They will work with you to update the information accordingly.

Can I republish an obituary at a later date?

Yes, some publications allow you to republish an obituary on special occasions like anniversaries or birthdays. Check with the publication for their policies on republication.

How do I ensure accuracy when writing an obituary?

What if I'm struggling to write an obituary due to grief or emotional distress?

Don't hesitate to reach out to a trusted friend, family member, or professional writer for assistance. They can help you craft a beautiful tribute during a difficult time.

Can I include quotes or lyrics in an obituary?

Absolutely! Quotes or lyrics that resonated with the person who passed away can add depth and meaning to the obituary.

How do I handle conflicting opinions within the family about what to include in an obituary?

Hold open and honest discussions with family members to come to a consensus. If necessary, consider seeking guidance from a neutral third party like a funeral director or counselor.

Can I write an obituary for someone who has been deceased for many years?

Yes! Writing an obituary for someone who has been deceased for many years can be a meaningful way to honor their memory and provide closure for loved ones.

What if I'm unsure about what type of information to include in an obitary?

Contact a funeral home or professional writer for guidance. They can provide valuable insights and help you craft a beautiful tribute that honors your loved one's life.

How do I preserve an obitary for future generations?
