Take into consideration when and in which newspapers (both local and out of town) you wish your funeral director to publish the obituary. Have them assist you in confirming the dates, those who should be mentioned, correct spelling of names and the details of the scheduled funeral service. Instead, start the final paragraph of the obituary with the words “Memorial donations may be made to….” Other ConsiderationsĪll information included in the obituary should be verified with another family member. We recommend you refrain from using the phrase “in lieu of flowers” when requesting memorial donations. The decision as to which foundation or society to support may be based upon interests or values that your loved one expressed during life or related to a medical condition which he or she had. Give the name and mailing address of a foundation or society to which you wish to direct any memorial donations made in honour of your loved one. Sometimes unwanted guests may attend only for lunch and may not be part of the service. 
We do not recommend adding that there will be a reception. These may include the funeral, visitations, burial and memorial service as applicable. Provide details of the scheduled services, including the time, date and address. Other relatives need not be mentioned by name but may be referenced in terms of their relationship to the deceased: for example, the obituary may say that the deceased leaves behind five grandchildren, seven nieces, etc. These surviving relatives should be listed by name.
Spouse/partner, children and/or stepchildren (with their spouses’/partners’ names also noted in brackets, if applicable). It is customary to list family members who have survived the deceased, as well as immediate family members who predeceased him or her, including: This may include the schools he or she attended and any degrees attained as well as their vocations or interests. Recount, in a concise manner, the significant events in the life of the deceased. You may wish to consider placing a photograph (which can appear in black and white or colour) along with the text for an additional charge. #OBITUARIES SAMPLES FULL#
Standard pieces of information to include are the announcement, biographical, scheduled services and memorials Announcementįamilies usually want to state the deceased’s full name, along with their dates of birth and death, however, because of fraud and identity theft, this is not recommended. People often save obituaries as remembrances of someone they loved, so make sure that the final product is something worthy of a scrapbook and – more importantly – worthy of your loved one’s memory. Should you wish to make any changes to reduce costs, we can do so at that time and resubmit. Since the cost of running an obituary generally varies by length, once you have an idea of what you want to publish, we will submit it and get a cost for you. An obituary also serves as notification that an individual has passed away and provides information on any services that are scheduled to take place. More than merely a “goodbye” to the deceased, it is a farewell detailing their life in chronological order. What is an Obituary?Īn obituary is often the first thing people read in the newspaper each day – and, for many, it will likely be the last thing written about their lives. If you are typing the obituary, please provide Connelly-McKinley with a hard copy as well an emailed copy or a saved copy on a USB. To avoid any mistakes, you should print rather than write the draft out by hand. One of our Funeral Directors will assist with any final touches, as well as ensuring that the obituary is published in any newspaper you request. The following is a guide to composing an obituary.
