What a finished obituary map covers

Reading a finished obituary example mind map shows how the parts of a death notice fit together, from the opening announcement to the final request for donations. A sample map is a useful starting point, but the most helpful one is built from the obituaries your class or workplace actually uses.

Opening announcement: full name, age, and date and place of death
Life summary: birthplace, education, career, and community roles
Survivors: spouse, children, grandchildren, and siblings
Service details: visitation, funeral or memorial service, and burial or cremation

A strong obituary map usually separates vital facts, the life summary, personal details, survivors, and service information into distinct branches. Seeing those branches side by side makes it easier to notice what a typical obituary leaves out and what a family-written one adds.

Frequently asked questions

What sections should an obituary include?

Most obituaries open with the person's full name, age, and date and place of death, then summarize their life and list survivors. Service details and any memorial donation request usually come last.

How do I study obituary structure for a class?

Read several published obituaries and sort each sentence into a branch such as vital facts, life summary, or survivors. Then redraw the map from memory and check the gaps against the original.
