Obituary Writing and Editing

Memorializing your loved one in an obituary is a wonderful way to honor their life story, but writing about your loved one can be difficult, especially after their passing. If you need help finding the right words to tell someone’s story, reach out to me. Using my experience in obituary writing and editing, I will craft a thoughtful obituary that can be treasured for generations. One of my skills as a writer is interviewing people and capturing their stories in a thoughtful way. I would be honored to do the same for your deceased loved one.

If you already have an obituary but want to make sure it is well-written before submitting to the newspaper, I can help you with that as well. With extensive experience as an editor, I can make your obituary the best it can be.

Another often unforeseen challenge associated with obituaries is the length. Because newspapers charge according to the length of the obituary, you could end up spending significantly more if your obituary isn’t properly edited. Whether you hire me to write an obituary or edit one you’ve already written, I will ensure the final edit is optimized to save money on publication while also paying the necessary respect to your loved one.

Obituary writing includes:

– A fully written, edited, and proofread obituary (Average final lengths are approximately 300-600 words, but you can choose your desired length)
– 30-minute consultation to discuss the obituary
– Optimized word and line count for a lower newspaper publication cost

Obituary Editing/Proofreading includes:

– A fully edited and proofread obituary
– 30-minute consultation to discuss the obituary
– Optimized word and line count for a lower newspaper publication cost
