how to write a good obit

A good obituary sound be more then just a note of death but rather a piece that helps the reader to bring that person back to life. An obituary should celebrate the life of whoever has past.

A written must pull together all of the information they can find on this person, as well as this person’s family.

Even though and obituary is meant to be a full reminder of that persons life the writer also needs to be as sensitive as possible to the one the person has succeeded.

A writer should try to put all positives about the deceased in their obituary.

They should also never say, “left behind” when regarding the family or loved one the deceased has succeeded.

It is important that the writer include in this information that time and place of the wake, funeral, as well as the visiting or viewing hours. This way friend will be notified on when they can say their goodbyes.

An obituary should be something a loved one can read and say, “yup that was him alright”.
