An obituary is a published notice (announcement) of the death and life of a person. For famous people, they are written by the publication. For most of us, they are written by a family member and published by the funeral home. There used to be rules about obituaries, and by "rules" I mean generally accepted formats. There is greater flexibility in writing these days. A helpful guideline is to ask, "Who do we want to know what about this person?"
