Writing an Obituary for the Funeral

If you are challenged with the task of writing an obituary for a funeral or for a newspaper obituary, you'll find the guidance you need to get you started. An obituary should represent the deceased's life the way they would want to be remembered.

If you're not sure what to do first, start by downloading our free obituary template checklist called Information to Include in an Obituary to help you gather information about the deceased.

Then read over some examples of obituaries, either by looking at current Newspaper Obituaries in your area, or by reading some Funeral Obituaries.

Once you've had a chance to look at some obituaries, the next thing you'll want to do is read How do I Write an Obituary? for a line-by-line guide to writing an obituary for the funeral.
