An obituary is a brief written summary of a deceased person's life. It includes a list of surviving family members and is typically found in local newspapers or online news sites. The deceased's family often crafts the obituary, but a publication's staff can also complete the task.
Many funeral homes publish obituaries on their websites. These can usually be located with a Google search on the person's name. Local genealogical and historical societies, public libraries, and some newspaper publishers maintain clipping files of obituaries.
Legacy.com hosts obituaries for more than three-quarters of the 100 largest newspapers in the U.S., by circulation. The site attracts more than 30 million unique visitors per month and is among the top 40 trafficked websites in the world. Legacy Inc. Chicago, Illinois, U.S.
Why does it cost so much to post an obituary? Publishing an obituary in the newspaper is expensive because of the limited space papers have. Newspapers value every inch of each page, so they must charge to use that limited space for an obituary.
[Full name] sadly passed away on [date of death] at their home in [place of passing]. They always spread joy and happiness wherever they went. As per [first name]'s request, no funeral or memorial service will be held.
Copyright and Obituaries. To be clear, obituaries are protected by copyright. They are creative works of expression that are fixed into a tangible medium of expression. Both the text and the images that make up an obituary are protected by copyright (even if the facts and information are not).
A death notice is a brief, factual statement that announces someone's death to the public. An obituary also includes facts surrounding a person's death, but also includes biographical information, stories, and anecdotes to help honor that person's memory.
They also often include details about a person's hobbies and interests as well as other information that paints a clearer picture of who they were. Obituaries give families an opportunity to share what their loved one meant to the world.
However, it's worth noting that writing an obituary is not legally required. You may find a death notice on a funeral home website without the accompanying article that tells the story of the person's life. You may also see through your online search that the obituary was printed in the local paper.
