What Information is Typically Included in an Obituary?

When you're looking at an obituary, whether it's from WSPY News or another source, you'll usually find a standard set of information. Think of it as a brief biography and a service announcement rolled into one. Primarily, you'll see the full name of the deceased, often including their maiden name if applicable. The age at the time of passing is almost always included, giving a sense of their lifespan. You'll also find the date and location of death – this usually specifies the city and state, and sometimes the hospital or facility where they passed. Beyond these basic facts, many obituaries go into more detail to celebrate the person's life. You might find information about their birthdate and birthplace, giving context to their origins. A significant portion often details their family connections, listing parents, siblings, children, grandchildren, and sometimes even great-grandchildren. This helps highlight the personal relationships that were important to them. Many obituaries also include information about their education and career, highlighting their professional achievements and the fields they contributed to. You might also read about their hobbies, interests, and passions – what brought them joy and defined their personality. Finally, and crucially, obituaries usually provide details about funeral or memorial services. This can include the date, time, and location of wakes, visitations, funeral services, and burial or cremation information. Sometimes, they will also specify where donations can be made in lieu of flowers, often to a charity that was meaningful to the deceased or their family. We aim to include as much of this relevant information as possible in the obituaries we publish, respecting the wishes of the families while providing a comprehensive tribute for the community.

Details About the Deceased

In every obituary we publish here at WSPY News, we try our best to capture the essence of the individual. So, what exactly are the details about the deceased that families often share? It starts with the basics, of course: their full name, date of birth, and date of death. But it goes so much deeper. We often include information about their parents and perhaps siblings, painting a picture of their upbringing and early life. For many, their spouse and children are central to their story, and these relationships are highlighted. It’s not uncommon to see mentions of grandchildren and even great-grandchildren, showing the continuation of their family legacy. Beyond immediate family, families might share details about their education and career paths. Did they graduate from a local school? Did they have a long and fulfilling career in a specific industry? These details often speak to their contributions to the community and their personal journey. But what really brings an obituary to life are the personal touches. Families might include information about their hobbies and interests. Were they avid gardeners? Did they love to travel? Were they passionate about a particular sport or hobby? These details help us understand the person beyond their roles as a family member or professional. Sometimes, families will share memorable anecdotes or character traits that made the person unique – their sense of humor, their kindness, their adventurous spirit. It's these kinds of details that truly honor their memory and allow others to remember them for who they truly were. We encourage families to share what they feel best represents their loved one, making each obituary a unique and heartfelt tribute.

Sometimes, families opt for a memorial service at a later date, and if so, these arrangements will also be clearly stated. Beyond the logistical details, many families choose to include information about in lieu of flowers donations. They might suggest a particular charity or cause that was close to the deceased's heart.
