Write a clear obituary and gathering notice

Decide with the family what the notice needs to say. Include the name, life dates if confirmed, a short remembrance and the arrangements you are ready to share.

For a gathering, give the full date, local time, timezone and venue address. Say whether attendance is open or by invitation. Provide a contact method the family has agreed to publish.

Read every name, date and link aloud before posting. If plans change, update the notice and share the revised page with the same people.
