How to write an Obituary

A good obituary is more than just a notice of a death. It should contain information on the funeral and burial service, information on the family and loved ones who have been survived. Any key background information with a slight background should be included.

The most important thing to remember when writing an obituary is accuracy. The story is meant to recognize the life of the person, and they should be respected with full accuracy. Show characteristics and information on the death, don’t just list the facts. An obituary can contain a thank you to those who helped out, and even a request for memorial donations.

People tend to read obituaries to gain information on recent deaths. Obituaries spread the unfortunate news of a death, and allow the readers to gain the information they need in order to attend a funeral.
