What is an example of an obituary?

Answer 1

I'm not going to type up an obituary just for example. But I will give you the outline for an obituary. Obviously you're going to first put the name of the decedent, his age at time of death, and the day he died. Instead of his age you can put his date of birth. Next you're going to put down some of the characteristics of this person, like what kind of work he did most of his life, other types of work he has done, and some of his interests and hobbies - especially notable hobbies and interests that everyone knew him for, for example, the love of animals. Next, you want to put down whom he is predeceased by, notably one or two parents and/or a sibling, then a spouse or partner who died before he did, then who he was survived by, from the closest of kin or domestic partnership, to the most distant of family members but that knew him very well. Finally you will put down when and where his funeral or memorial service will be held, followed by the burial site. If a viewing will be held before hand, place this just before the funeral date and time. If there will only be a memorial service, so indicate and state where and when this will happen. If the gathering will be held after the service, you can so state. If you want to, you could also enclose a picture of the decedent. Make sure it's a portrait picture and do not include other people in it, dead or alive.
