What’s the Difference Between an Obituary and a Death Notice?
The obituary is a longer, more thorough look at the life of the deceased and a mere list of important details is the death notice. The obituary also provides certain important facts, but it draws on them to include a more complete glimpse at the life memories of the deceased.
When writing either a death notice or an obituary, other important information to include are:
– Upon death, their age
– On birthday
– Childbirthplace
– A list of the families who survived
– Day of Death
– The place where they died (city/state)
– Funeral service details: date, period, venue
– Full Name
– Death Date
– Where the person has been staying
