Obituary
Write an Obituary in 125 to 200 words. Find an example of a real obituary and attach the link to your own submission. When looking for an obituary
Be sure to include the following:
- Address or at least hometown. A lot of modern papers are no longer printing addresses because of safety reasons.
- Date of death
- Cause of death. Most papers differ on this, but I see the trend to be that we do not discuss cause of death unless it is desired by the family. In the case of a homicide or murder, then the story usually transforms from an obituary into a breaking news story.
- Occupation
- Accomplishments
- Time and date of services
- Visitation information
- Place of burial
- Memorial information
- Names of survivors
