An obituary is an announcement of a person’s death, this includes key details about their life and a biographical statement that contains the key facts of person’s life. Being asked to write an obituary gives you the opportunity to honour a loved one.
If it’s the first time you have been involved in making arrangements after a death, there can be new terms to become familiar with. You may be asked to write a eulogy, or, an obituary and be wondering about the difference. Both help us to remember a person who has died, and reflect on the life they have led.

When you’re dealing with the grief of losing a loved one it can be really hard to compose your thoughts and work out what is the right thing to say. Thats why we have put together this blog to help give you some guidance and structure.
