Obituaries: Not just a record of events.
Benjamin Franklin said, "Nothing is certain in this world except death and taxes." In this interactive workshop, you'll learn how to write a basic obituary capturing your significant life milestones and events.
During the workshop, we will discuss different styles of obituaries and how to make your obituary reflect your personality. No matter how old you are, it is important to start drafting your written obituary document. This ensures it’s available for your family and loved ones when it’s needed.
Most importantly, writing your own obituary gives you the opportunity to preserve your life story in your own words. Writing prompts will be provided to help you identify the important details of your personal history, and you’ll start drafting your obituary in the workshop. Sharing with others will be encouraged.
For the workshop, you’ll need access to a pen and paper or word processing software on your computer.
