Write an obituary for your grandparent
We're sorry. Here are a few things that help, and an example you can borrow from.
What helps
- Choose a few moments instead of every year.
- Grandchildren can be counted instead of named, which keeps paid notices shorter.
- Ask the older relatives to check dates, places and names of people who died before her.
An example
Margaret Ellis, 94, of Burlington, died on November 3. Born on a dairy farm, she drove a tractor at 10 and a Buick well past the age her children thought wise.
She is survived by three children, eight grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. A service will be held Friday at 1 p.m. at First Congregational Church.
This person is made up. Their details are only an example.
You'll get three versions, a short one for newspapers, and a funeral program PDF.
