How To Write An Obituary - A Workbook To Help You Honor Your Loved One: Composing a Death Notice For Publication Online or in Newspaper - Paperback

You got here because you wanted to know how to write an obituary. Maybe a loved one has died. Maybe you want to prepare your own before you pass. Either way, you have some questions, especially if this is something you've never had to do before.

When a person dies, we usually see an obituary in the newspaper, but sometimes a death notice will be posted. How do you distinguish between the two? Should you have an obituary or death notice for a person who was cremated? How do you write an engaging obituary that truly honors the decedent?

Whether it's for yourself or a family member, I know you need to get going on this. So, included are the answers to these questions. Although we can't write it for you, the second part of this book has a rundown on the types of information you need to gather, ideas, and outline for composing the content of the obituary. There are blank lines included so you can jot down your thoughts to be organized into a great obituary that touches the reader, and truly honors the deceased.
