Obituary

A good obituary should celebrate the life that a person has lived, and their impact on the community that they lived in. An obituary should mention any notable accomplishments or jobs that a person completed throughout their life, and it should mention how there lives impacted others. In certain circumstances an obituary should state who the person is survived by and how they passed away, but this is not always the case. Obituaries may also include the funeral place and time if the funeral is public or for a notable figure.


Obituaries should always try to focus more on the life that a person has lived and avoid discussing their death too much. Readers should be able to read an obituary and find a fond, positive remembrance of the deceased listed in the paper. Obituaries should also keep the interests of the remaining family members and friends alive, and they need to be kept in mind when deciding how much to write, what to write, and what photo should be used.
