Quick answer

What should an obituary include?

An obituary normally includes the person's full name, key dates, a concise life story, family relationships, and service information when it is public. Start with confirmed facts, then add the qualities, work, faith, interests, or memories the family wants preserved. Every generated sentence should be reviewed before it is copied or printed.

  • Misspelling a family name or using the wrong family relationship.
  • Publishing service details, an address, or private family information before approval.
  • Adding a cause of death or achievement the family did not provide.
  • Using exaggerated or overly ornate language that does not sound like the person being remembered.
