Obituary examples -CEFR

• An obituary is a way to briefly share the life story of the person who has died and to let others know of their passing. It can be a difficult task to write an obituary, but it can be a helpful and healing process for those who are grieving.

Important Note

There are a few things to keep in mind when writing an obituary. 

• First, it is important to be brief. An obituary should not be more than a few paragraphs long. 
• Second, an obituary should focus on the positive aspects of the person's life. It is not a time to air grievances or to speak badly of the deceased. 
• Third, an obituary should be written in a third person point of view.
