Death.

We’ve all experienced losing loved ones in death. We’ve experienced the sorrow, the heartache and the intense grief caused by the “sting” of death. It’s no wonder that the Bible calls death an enemy. (1 Cor. 15:26, 55, 56)

Not only does the death of a loved one bring great emotional pain, but it also brings the stress of planning a funeral or memorial service. One of the important decisions that must be made is what kind of article will be written to post on your funeral home’s web page and in your local newspaper. Most newspapers publish death notices—cold, bare-bones summaries of the deceased’s life, death and funeral arrangements—at no charge, and your funeral director can assist you with such an article. An obituary, on the other hand, is an account of your loved one’s life that not only summarizes their life story, but allows readers to learn how the deceased touched the lives of others. An obituary allows you to discuss your loved one’s passions, their hobbies, their reputation, their impact on their family and their community, etc. A well-written obituary serves as a fitting tribute to the life of your departed loved one.

Many grieving families would love to honor their loved one with an obituary, but simply feel they don’t have to time nor the skill to write a tribute that they feel the deceased deserves.

ObiTRIBUTES.com collects information from you about your loved one, using a brief online questionnaire that you complete along with your loved ones from the comfort of home. Our staff of professional writers will take that information and produce a beautifully-written obituary, honoring your loved one’s life and memory. Our fee for producing the obituary is usually much less than the cost to publish it in your newspaper and a tiny fraction of the cost of a cemetery monument. In short, ObiTRIBUTES.com makes obituary writing simple, convenient and affordable.
