The best time to prepare your obituary is when you preplan your funeral. You can leave the obituary copy with your family funeral director and give other copies to immediate family members. Here are some suggestions. First paragraph should give basic information such as name, age, residence city, date and place of death, and cause of death. The second paragraph should include date of birth and birth place, parents’ names, educational accomplishments, military service, marriages and residential history. The third paragraph should list post high school education and degrees earned, work history and affiliations. The fourth paragraph mentions affiliations with a church, synagogue or other place of worship, and membership in clubs, civic and fraternal organizations. The next paragraph should name survivors including the spouse and children, other relatives, pets, friends and where the survivors live. Family members who preceded the decedent in death should also be mentioned. The obituary should conclude with all the particulars of the funeral service: day, date, time and place of service, place of burial, visitation information, memorial services and any prayer or vigil services that are scheduled. Give consideration to the newspapers where the obituary should be printed. With today’s mobile society, many people make sure that their hometown newspaper also receives the obituary.
