When writing an obituary for a private person, the simplest solution is to follow their life template. The following is an example of a life template. Sheridan Blante was born on _____ in _____. He was a ____ and ____. He was married to _____ for ____. They had ____ children.

Sheridan was a loving husband and father. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends and will be dearly missed. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Sheridan’s memory to a charity of your choice.

If you are a loved one of the deceased, you will want to notify others of the death as soon as possible. You can do this by sending out an email or posting a notice on a social media account. If you are not able to notify others immediately, you can leave a voicemail for the funeral director or staff at the hospice. If you are a close friend of the deceased, you may want to create an obituary template to help you express your feelings.
