What Is An Obituary?
An obituary is a written announcement for when someone dies. It typically describes the personality and life of the person who has passed, it usually includes the details of their funeral service.
Why Publish An Obituary?
Writing an obituary is not a requirement or a necessity when someone passes away. However, it can be an effective way to tell their local community about their death. The person who died might have had people in their life who they knew well or in passing that there is no contact information for. An obituary both announces their death and provides information for the funeral to everyone. Publishing an obituary in the newspaper or online provides an official notice of the funeral arrangements.
Where Are Obituaries Published?
Obituaries are primarily published in newspapers, with the decline of printed media they can also be found online on memorial pages. Famous or well-known individuals’ obituaries tend to be printed in larger newspapers so that they can reach more people. It is more common for family members or friends to pay to publish their loved one’s obituary in a smaller local newspaper. It is becoming increasingly more customary to people to write and publish them online so that they can be shared on social media.
