The obituary should celebrate the person's life while including information about who the person was, where they came from, what they did, who they left behind, and of course, how they died.
The obituary should also include details on the funeral arrangements, i.e., who is able to attend, where the funeral and wake will take place, and the family's concerns and wishes.
A good obituary often evokes emotions from the readers and express how valuable and remarkable the person was. It is not enough to just state who the person was and why they're gone. It is essential to revive the person through words. The obituary should, in a way, resurrect the person for the reader.
People read obituaries to remember the person and learn about certain arrangements. It is crucial to pay tribute to the deceased through high praise, without bending the truth.
