This has made it easier for friends and family of the deceased to connect with one another through various platforms for quick and efficient information dissemination. Today, technology and the birth of the internet has allowed us to share these stories online. This means that an obituary must be made informative enough to keep readers updated. Similar to a death notice, an obituary is a type of editorial piece written to announce the death of a particular individual. This is typically done to pay tribute to significant individuals of a given entity or industry. Some people even go as far as creating a full-page obituary for a well-respected publication such as the New York Times. There are many obituaries being published online and in the print that is more refined than others. Unlike a short eulogy, an obituary tends to be more sincere and formal in nature. Most of us are familiar with newspaper obituaries, or we’ve probably written one similar to it before.
