What is an "obituary"?
An obituary is a notice or article published in a newspaper or other media that announces the death of an individual, usually including details about their life, achievements, and funeral arrangements. It often highlights significant events or contributions the person made during their lifetime, along with personal information such as family members, education, career, and community involvement. Obituaries can also serve as a tribute, offering a respectful and reflective account of the deceased's life. In some cases, they may be written by family members, friends, or journalists.
