Be sure to include the following:

• Their full name (first, middle, last).

• The date that they were born and the date that they died (January 3, 1954- December 4, 2000).

• Include their achievements at the school like the clubs that they were in an the role that they played in those clubs or if it was a teacher, write the years they’ve been teaching and what they taught.

• Include what they enjoyed doing.

• Include family members they were survived by.

• Include the date of the funeral and where.

• At the end write how wonderful of a person they were, and say something like, “We will miss him so dearly”.

• You do not necessarily have to write how they died. If it was very violent, don’t write it. Use your own judgment for this.

You should also check out obituaries in the local newspaper to see what makes a good one.
