Tips For Writing An Online Obituary

It can be a challenging thing, putting your emotions into words when a loved one dies. When writing an online obituary on the internet, it’s not only important to include their accomplishments but also to speak of how meaningful their life was in other ways.

The internet has allowed for obituaries to become much longer than before. Space restrictions in newspapers and other physical publications limited how much people used to be able to write.

It can be difficult to figure out where to start when writing an obituary. Here are some tips to help get you started:

Family Members

A good place to start is by listing the immediate family members of the deceased along with other close relatives and/or friends. Be sure to also include family members that passed away before this person such as their parents.

Significant Information

Include important information about your loved one, such as their birth date and place, date of death, full name, and whether cremation or burial will take place. This is also the opportunity to mention any measurable achievements such as work accomplishments.

Close Connections

You should also speak of the local communities your loved one was involved with. This could include supporting sports teams, organizations, or charities.

Military Service

The sacrifices made by military members should always be acknowledged, especially if the deceased endured injuries or received recognition for their efforts. Mention where they served, what they did, and feel free to include a story from their time in the military.
