Unlike most news stories getting the facts for an obituary is not typically difficult, however to make a compelling obituary one needs to go a little deeper with their research.
First off one must find the basics, the name and address, occupation and age, cause of death and place, relatives, place and time of funeral, and lastly the burial site.
Typically to find more information on the deceased one can visit a library, although today there are other means of making an obituary more heartfelt.
For instance using the internet it is possible to find more information on the deceased, such as awards they won, community volunteering, and other influential achievements.
Lastly when writing an obituary one has to remember who will read it, make sure your facts are correct because relatives of the deceased do not want him/her dishonored.
All the relatives will give the time to read the obituary, but with thorough research a fact may be uncovered that will make the obituary interesting to more readers.
