Where can you get tips for writing an obituary?

There is a website called obituaryguide.com that began publishing in 2007 which has a number of tips and templates to help when writing an obituary. It is important to remember that an obituary should strive to provide an accurate and complete overview of the life of the departed.

While there are some details that can be left out to prevent identity theft, such as full address and birth-date, the best way to avoid this is to promptly deliver death certificates to banks and credit offices. While an obituary is a sad thing to work on, it is always better to focus on the good memories and the way the departed touched the lives of their loved ones.
