Obituary Writer
Nine small questions instead of one impossible blank page.
Write the facts, then add the one true detail
Every obituary that people remember contains one concrete, domestic detail — the drawer of greeting cards, the braai in the rain, the hymn sung off-key. The draft gives you the dignified structure; you add the detail only your family knows. Our obituary examples show how that detail lands for a mother, father, husband, wife and more.

Common questions
Is this really free?+
Yes — the writer is free with no account and no upload; the words never leave your device. It is the same helper built into our free programme editor.
How long should an obituary be?+
For the programme, 150–300 words reads well aloud and fits the life-story page. Newspaper notices are shorter — often under 100 words, priced per line.
What must an obituary include?+
Full name, dates, the shape of their life (place, work, what they loved), who survives them, and the service details. Our obituary examples show the register for every relation.
