One detail that often escapes even the most thorough planner is the obituary. Writing an obituary is another thing that can be taken care of in advance. An obituary can be as basic as containing only public facts about a person's life. Their birth, family tree, their death. It can also be a very personal look at a life. Not only a summation of the public facts, but a glimpse of the uniqueness; that, when combined with those "facts," created a personality.
Written by someone who is close to you, an obituary becomes an intimate view of what made you memorable to others. Written by you, it becomes your personal life's story. As much as you love someone, recalling the details of their life at the time of their death is an overwhelming responsibility. Having the obituary already written and on file with your funeral provider is not as difficult to do as you may think.
To help you get started review the sample obituary. Think about your life and what you would most like remembered. Then fill out the form, and file with your funeral plans.
