Share your mourning – to feel and show great sadness, especially because somebody has died.
The structure of an obituary may differ depending on its intended publication. Nevertheless, most obituaries adhere to a widely recognized format and include certain essential information. If you are tasked with writing someone else’s obituary, regardless of your level of familiarity with them, it is important to include biographical details, surviving family members or those who have passed away before, and a few other key elements. These elements are typically presented in the following sequence:
1. **Biographical Information**: This encompasses the individual’s full name, age at the time of death, date of death, and often the location of their passing. Whether or not to include the cause of death is a decision that can be made by you or the deceased person’s family, as it is not obligatory.
2. **Deceased Family Members**: This refers to those who have passed away before the individual. It is customary to include immediate family members, such as spouses, siblings, or children. Additionally, it is important to mention the surviving family members, which typically include spouses, parents, siblings, children, and grandchildren. Stepchildren or stepsiblings may also be included if desired.
3. **A Brief Overview of the Deceased’s Life**: This section can incorporate light-hearted details, such as favorite dishes or quotes, as well as more significant aspects like career accomplishments or contributions. It is perfectly acceptable to include a combination of both.
4. **Funeral, Memorial, or Related Arrangements**: Depending on the family’s preference for disclosure (as well as the intended audience of the obituary), you can provide information about any funeral, memorial, or related plans.
Below are a few examples of obituary formats that can serve as a reference:
1. **Traditional Obituary Format for Newspaper**: This format is suitable for publication in a newspaper. It includes biographical information, family members, a summary of the individual’s life, and details about funeral arrangements¹.
2. **Traditional Obituary Format for Word or Google Docs**: This format is appropriate for composing an obituary using Word or Google Docs.
