While you likely understand that funeral homes in Wernersville, PA are there to help you with final services for a loved one, it’s good to know that they also help you with the little details surrounding those services. They will, for example, help you with the writing of the obituary for your loved one. Here are a few ways the funeral home can help.
Provide Examples
One of the things the funeral home will likely recommend is that you read through some other obituary examples. You can do that on their website, in newspapers, or they can even provide you with some good ones that hit all the common notes. You will be able to get a feel for the things that are generally included and what type of tone to take with the announcement.
Give Lists Of Things To Include
As you might notice from looking at obituary examples, there are things that are generally included in this type of notice. The funeral home can provide you a list of things that are usually put into the announcement so you don’t leave anything important out that people might want to know. You will have to customize and personalize the announcement as you see fit, but hitting the highlights is important.
Proofread For You
The funeral home won’t be able to tell you that you left out a family member or that a certain person’s name is spelled wrong, but they can (and will) proofread the copy for you and let you know what spelling or grammar errors there might be in other areas. They might also suggest that you re-arrange to put things in a certain order to make it easier to read.
Aid You In The Writing
Many funeral homes can even write the obituary for you, if you wish. They will provide you with a list of things they need to know. You fill that out and then they take over and write up the details for you. Once the obituary is written, you get it back and can look it over, change whatever you want, and get the final go ahead on whether or not to use what the funeral home has written or make larger changes.
