Sample Obituary Formats

I find with any difficult writing task it's easier to look at a sample; that's why I've created a lens with sample obituary formats. When writing an obituary, it's helpful to start with an outline. Think of what the person has meant to you and take notes. Sometimes just stream-of-consciousness writing will help to give you short phrases or thoughts that you hadn't considered.

Ultimately, you want to pay tribute to the person who has passed and getting to those feelings and expressing them is the way to do it. I've provided many resources here for sample obituary formats, as well as tips and other helpful items.

Trying To Help A Loved One Cope With Grief, But Just Don't Know What To Do?

Unique, practical guide for the friends and families of the bereaved tells you exactly how to help without getting in the way

It is awful when someone you love goes through the unbearable pain of bereavement. As you are discovering, you feel distraught and completely unable to help. You can't take away the grief, but there are many things you can do to make everyday life more bearable for them. And no-one knows better what those things might be than people who have been bereaved themselves...

This book explains how it feels, and also passes on the advice of many other people who have been bereaved. These people know exactly what helped them most (and what was well-meant but not helpful) at the time, and in the months, weeks and years afterwards.

There's no need to feel so helpless in the face of grief. This book is full of little ways - as well as big ways - you can help someone you care about cope that little bit better. You really CAN make a difference; why not let this inspiring, creative and practical book show you how?
