What is Obituary?
An '''Obituary''' is a notice of a death. An Obituary is published by the family of the person who died to let more distant family members and friends know about the death. [[Funeral home]]s commonly publish obituaries. A description of the person who died is usually included in the obituary. [[Funeral]] arrangements are usually part of an obituary. An obituary is distributed via a publication in a newspaper, or via manual handing out or posting of pamphlets. Some newpapers offer a service of writing a biography for the person who died.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.everplans.com/articles/whats-the-difference-between-an-obituary-and-a-death-notice | title=What's the Difference Between an Obituary and a Death Notice }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Writing A Death Notice Or Obituary|url=https://lyfeguard.com/articles/estate-legacy/writing-death-notice-or-obituary}}</ref> Old obituaries are a source of information for people writing biographies.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://dying.lovetoknow.com/Old_Obituary_for_Free | title=Ways to Find an Old Obituary for Free }}</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Death customs]] {{stub}}
