1. You can download an obituary template from the internet and fill in the details, but it will be more productive if you use a text editor in your computer. You can use Microsoft word to create an obituary.
2. Create the first paragraph mentioning the death notice. Just below it create fields to insert the primary details of the deceased person. Represent the fields of details line by line. For example the first line provides the name; the second line provides the age, etc. The items on the personal details paragraph must be very limited to 4 to 5 items.
3. The second paragraph includes additional details of the deceased person. Represent the fields of details one below the other like the first paragraph.
4. Create another paragraph to include the work history and his contribution to the society. This part can be used to list the details or write them directly as a paragraph.
5.In the next paragraph you can include the names of the family members of the deceased. It is not mandatory, but you can limit the names of the members you want to mention.
6. The obituary will look appealing if you can include quotes from the deceased person and highlight them in the obituary. Adding a photo of the deceased person can further help the obituary to look pleasant.
7. The last paragraph must include the details of the details of the funeral program. The details can be the time, date, venue, etc. If you include all the items listed above, you will have an effective obituary to publicize a funeral.
1. Take a look at your local newspaper when looking for an instruction on how to write an obituary, because nearly all of the dailies want obituaries to be written in a precise manner.
2. Set a cost limit if you're short on budget. Mainly the newspapers charge by the paragraph size and long tribute can cost you more than you expected.
3. Make sure to reserve a space to publish the obituary in the paper in advance to avoid allocation issues.
4. Don’t stick to the basic format you found on the internet, do a little bit research and create a template of your own design. You can add more or less detail to the obituary as you desire to fit into your budget.
5. Including names of all family members is not necessary. If space is limited, try only to list the closes members of the family.
6. Almost all funeral homes provide the service of writing an obituary. But if you are from the family of the deceased, try to write it yourself with their assistance. Since you are a family member you know all about the person better than the funeral home.
