Obituaries in Funeral Programs

Obituaries are often published in funeral programs. They can be a very important part of the funeral program, giving good biographical information about the deceased. The obituary that is published in the program is usually longer than the “death announcement” type obituary that is published in the newspaper. It not only gives basic details of the life, but also gives information about jobs, hobbies and family. You can use obituary templates to help you construct the obituary. A detailed obituary can contain the following elements:

* Birth and Death Date
* Place of Birth and Death
* Cause of Death
* Schools attended/education information
* Military service
* Religious affiliation
* Jobs held – including retirement
* Names and relations of family members, both surviving and pre-deceased,
* Awards/Recognitions received
* Organizations
