When loved ones pass, it's often difficult to think about writing obituaries. With emotions running high, it's easy to worry that your writing won't do the person justice. Adzima Funeral Home of Stratford, CT, wants to help relieve you of that pressure. Writing obituaries doesn't have to be difficult; in fact, there is a basic template that most obituaries follow. 

To write a proper obituary, include the following information:

  • Biographical Information: You want to include information that sums up the basic aspects of your loved one's life as well as any of their accomplishments. Date and location of birth, hobbies, military service, and schools attended are all appropriate subjects to include.
  • Charities: If you would prefer people to make donations to charities in lieu of flowers, list them here. It's a nice idea to include charities to which the deceased was a contributor.
  • Money Donations: If the deceased's family is in need of financial help, indicate that monetary contributions would be appreciated in lieu of flowers.
  • Funeral Information: For public funeral services, list the time, date, and location of the funeral. If it is private, make mention of that. 
  • Publish It Early: Make sure to publish obituaries in the newspaper at least a few days before the funeral service. This will give family and friends time to make arrangements to attend.
