The obituary should read in such a way that someone should be able to read it and immediately feel
that they knew the loved one. Please feel free to see samples of the actual obituary page under writing/
editing services. You can get as creative as you like by sharing the details of a personal story, famous
quotes of the person, or just a story by which the person would like to be remembered fondly. An
obituary should be written to reflect on a person’s life—leaving memories behind for those whom the
loved one knew during the transitioned person’s lifetime, and for those who never had the opportunity
to meet the person.

Essentially, an obituary is a keepsake that can be passed on from generation to generation. It provides
information and details about specific events throughout the person’s life span. This is information that
you would like to share with family and friends about the person’s life. Usually the information would
consist of the passing loved one’s name, date of birth, parents and sibling names, education, marriage,
children’s names, work history, hobbies, etc. You also have the option to customize it best to tell the
story of your loved through poems,, photos and special tributes. It includes the date, time and location
of the service, the person in whom the service was entrusted, and interment.

When writing an obituary, you can include facts that tell who the person was; what made them
unique, their specific personality description, or the positive impact that they had on their family,
friends and others. You can share facts about the loved one that characterizes who they were. These
specific character traits may consist of attributes that may have been unknown to others. Include
answers to questions such as: What was one of their proudest moments? What was one of their not
so proud moments? Feel free to include quotes that give people a vivid picture of who the person was.
