Frequently Asked Questions
What is an obituary?
An obituary is a written notice that announces the death of a person, typically including their name, age, date of birth and death, and a brief biography. It's usually published in a newspaper, online obituary platform, or funeral home website to inform friends, family, and community members of the passing.
Why are obituaries important?
Obituaries serve as a way to honor and celebrate the life of the deceased, while also providing essential information to those who need to know about the passing. They help to notify people of the funeral or memorial service arrangements, allowing them to pay their respects and offer condolences to the family.
Who writes an obituary?
Typically, the family of the deceased or a close friend writes the obituary. In some cases, a funeral home or mortuary may assist with writing the obituary or provide a template for the family to fill out.
What information should be included in an obituary?
A typical obituary includes the person's full name, age, date of birth and death, place of residence, occupation, hobbies, achievements, and surviving family members. It may also include information about the funeral or memorial service, such as the date, time, location, and any special requests or instructions.
How long should an obituary be?
The length of an obituary can vary depending on the publication or platform. Generally, it's recommended to keep it concise and focused on the most important information. Aim for around 100-200 words.
Can I include photos in an obituary?
Yes, many online obituary platforms and some newspapers allow you to include one or more photos of the deceased. This can be a nice way to personalize the obituary and make it more engaging.
How much does it cost to publish an obituary?
The cost of publishing an obituary varies widely depending on the publication, location, and type of notice. Some online platforms offer free or low-cost options, while traditional newspapers may charge by the word or line.
Can I write my own obituary?
Absolutely! Many people choose to write their own obituary as a way to control how they're remembered and to ensure that their life story is told accurately. This can be a therapeutic exercise and a unique opportunity for self-reflection.
What's the difference between an obituary and a death notice?
A death notice is typically a brief announcement of someone's passing, often without additional biographical information. An obituary, on the other hand, provides more details about the person's life and legacy.
Can I include humor or personal anecdotes in an obituary?
Absolutely! An obituary is a celebration of the person's life, so feel free to include stories, quotes, or humorous moments that capture their personality and spirit.
How do I submit an obituary to a newspaper?
