If by the term obituary, you are referring to an announcement in the newspaper of the death and funeral arangements of a Jehovah's Witness, there is no reason for that to be a problem for Jehovah's Witnesses. We also often use the information in obituaries to find the names of those in our community that have died, so we can send comforting information to our neighbors about the resurrection hope that Jesus promised in The Bible. Additionally: Well there's nothing wrong with having an obituary in the paper so yes it's fine. The person's family will be able to give a witness that way by stating their background and how they enjoyed the ministry as well as their hope for the future.

Jehovah's Witnesses may choose to acknowledge obituaries as a way to inform others of a person's passing. However, they do not believe in traditional practices associated with death, such as wake services or elaborate funeral ceremonies. Instead, they focus on comforting the grieving family and maintaining a hope for the resurrection.
