When a loved one passes away, it’s often the heartfelt tributes and memories that keep their spirit alive. At Schuller Funeral Home, the obituaries serve as a meaningful way to honor those who have departed. They are not just announcements; they are celebrations of lives lived and connections shared.

Understanding Obituaries

What is an Obituary?

An obituary is a published notice of a person's death. It typically includes:

The deceased’s full name
Dates of birth and death
A brief biography
Information about funeral services
Details on surviving family members

Writing an obituary is like creating a small biography that captures the essence of a person’s life, showcasing their achievements, passions, and relationships.

The Importance of Obituaries

Obituaries serve multiple purposes:

Informing the Community: They let friends and family know about a loved one's passing.
Honoring the Deceased: Obituaries allow families to highlight their loved one’s accomplishments and character.
Providing Closure: For many, reading an obituary can be a significant part of the grieving process.

Crafting an Obituary

Writing an obituary can feel overwhelming, but breaking it down into steps can help ease the process:

Steps to Write an Obituary

Gather Information: Collect details about the deceased, including their name, age, and any significant milestones.
Write a Brief Biography: Focus on the highlights of their life—career, hobbies, and values.
Include Funeral Details: Provide information about the service, including time, date, and location.
Mention Family: List surviving family members and any predeceased loved ones.
Review for Accuracy: Make sure all information is correct and feels true to the person you’re honoring.
