FAQs

Obituaries are important. They provide us with the sad but significant news of people no longer alive who were once part of our communities. As important as they are in the ritual of mourning, they are expensive.

Reading an obituary is not so much an act of mourning a death but of reviewing a life of notable accomplishment and celebrating it. Obituaries are capsule biographies.

Common Mistakes to Avoid when Writing an Obituary

Don't Over Describe the Funeral.

Announce the death

Provide the name and a very brief description, the age of the deceased, and the day of passing. You can probably squeeze all of this information into one sentence. For example: On Monday, September 4, 2017, John Doe, loving husband and father of four children, passed away at the age of 74.

Obituary Example: Announcing the Funeral. [Full name], [age], of [where they lived], sadly left us on [date of death] due to [cause of death]. They leave behind [list of surviving family members]. A service will be held in their honor at [time] on [date] at [location].

[Full Name], aged [age of the deceased], passed away peacefully on [date of death], at [location of death]. He/she was born on [date of birth], in [birthplace], to [names of parents]. He/she was a proud resident of [city of residence] and was a 1975 graduate of Holy Cross High School.

In addition inspiring stories about the end of life can help us see beyond our fears and get comfortable with the reality of death.

Remembering and celebrating their life: Obituaries often highlight the unique qualities, experiences, and relationships of the deceased. Reading the obituary aloud, allows family, friends, and community members to collectively remember and celebrate the life that was lived.

Obits remind us that we're alive, and often the lessons from one person's life are what makes it resonate.

Obituaries are not required by law , so the deceased's family might have chosen to forego publishing one. Publishing an obituary can be expensive , and the funds may be unavailable. The deceased has few family members or friends , so there might have, unfortunately, been no need for an obituary.
