Obituary

An obituary is a published notice or announcement of a person’s death, typically providing a brief biography of the deceased, including details such as their life accomplishments, relationships, and sometimes the circumstances of their passing. Obituaries are often found in newspapers, online platforms, or funeral home websites and serve to inform the community and honor the memory of the individual. They may also include information about the funeral services, memorials, or charitable contributions in lieu of flowers. The term originates from the Latin word “obitus,” meaning “death.”
