What’s a Good Obituary?

When some one passes away it is customary to write an obituary for that person. In order to write a good obituary the writer needs to find out all the information possible to give the readers an idea of who the person really was.

An obituary is something that is supposed to honor a deceased person. The writer needs to take that into consideration and write the best things possible about the person. The writer should talk about achievements the person may have had or things that the person would want others to know.

Also, the information has to be exact. The writer has to make sure the person’s name is spelled correctly as well as what town they’re from and any other important information.

Finally, the writer should provide information about the funeral and wake services so people who knew the deceased person can pay their respects. The most important aspects of a good obituary are that it is informative to the readers and it is respectful of the deceased person.
