When someone dies, most of the time an obituary is written about them. Although some may think that it is easy and down right simple to write a great obituary about someone, they are incorrect. There are many elements that go into writing a good obituary.
The first of which is knowing what to publish and what not to talk about. For example, one should be able to include when that person was born, how they died, what there job or jobs were in life and even their survivors.
It is also important to note any achievements that they had received in life while trying to sound as positive as possible. Many people do read and watch for these types of obituaries in order to figure out why someone passed away and what there life was like.
In some circumstances an obituary can be very similar to a eulogy when that specific person is praised or it can be the opposite and talk about how that person died a violent death and was very sick. What ever the case may be, it is the writers job to include all the pertinent information so that the public will continue to be informed.
