Services

If you are interested in hiring me as an obituary writer, take a few moments to gather some basic information about your loved one or about yourself, if you are a person who chooses to have their living story written in your words.

• How would you describe your loved one’s personality? What did people say most often about him/her?
• What are some of your favorite memories of your loved one?
• What were your loved one’s proudest accomplishments?
• What were your loved one’s hobbies/favorite things?
• What was the thing you loved most about your loved one?
• Any foibles/quirks or other personality traits that made your loved one extra special?

Essentially, consider “How would they want to be remembered? And how will they be genuinely remembered by those who loved them?“

1. Use the email contact form below to tell me when you need the obituary. Turnaround time is between 48 hours and a week depending on my workflow.

2. I’ll respond with my availability, and we’ll set up a 30-minute phone call. During that call, I’ll learn as much as possible about your loved one.

3. Using the information collected, I’ll write a one-page narrative obituary (~500 words) and email you a draft. You can comment on it, asking me to change anything that doesn’t sound right.

4. I’ll send you a final copy, which you can edit however you like, and then forward to the funeral home.
