Generate, refine, edit, and print

The obituary writer works like the eulogy builder, with stricter fact review for names, dates, family, and service details.

Guided facts

Add only confirmed names, dates, family details, services, and life story notes.

Fact review

Review the draft before publishing, especially phrases like peacefully or surrounded by loved ones.

Copy and print

Use the editor to refine, copy, print, or prepare text for a funeral home or newspaper.

Traditional example

A traditional obituary opens with name, age, residence, and date of death, then moves through life story, family, service, and donations.

A short obituary gives only confirmed essentials and avoids long biographical detail.
