8 quick tips for creating your best obituary
1. Give yourself some time to reflect.
Take some time to jot down a few cherished memories and qualities you want to highlight.
2. Find a quiet space.
Get a coffee or a drink, and set aside an uninterrupted hour to complete the questionnaire.
3. Try not to feel overwhelmed with the task at hand.
Our form is designed to be manageable, with short pages and focused questions.
4. You don't need to answer every question.
Answer only what you feel comfortable with. Unanswered questions won’t appear in the final obituary.
5. Personal details lead to a more personal tribute.
Your stories bring their legacy to life. Feel free to share as many details as you’d like, including their quirks and habits. The more you share, the more personal and heartfelt the tribute will become.
6. Use multiple entries if needed.
For sections like “siblings” and “hobbies” you can click the “+” sign for multiple entries.
7. Utilize our open text boxes.
Many questions offer open-ended boxes for special details, stories and memories. You can even instruct the writing engine by saying “This is very important!”
8. Share your final thoughts at the end of our form.
You’ll have an opportunity at the end to add anything you’d like or include special memories you didn’t feel quite fit in elsewhere.
Our writing engine responds to commands, so feel free to be vocal about what you’d like included in your loved one’s obituary.
Do you have one special story you want everyone to hear? You can write ” this story is very important!” or “this story is required”, and the AI will respond.
You can make commands for answers, instructions, or even specific things or words you do not want mentioned in the obituary.
We encourage you to focus on the positive aspects of your loved one’s life, and to highlight your loved one’s passions, accomplishments, and the immense joy they brought to others.
Obituary Assist is designed to be a helpful guide, providing a structure for your thoughts and memories, and we encourage you to edit and personalize the final draft in our editor to ensure it captures your voice and the unique essence of your loved one.
