Obits tell the story of legends

What makes a good obituary? Why do readers/viewers read and watch them?

Obituaries are particularly interesting because they tell the story of the recently deceased person. They bring attention to the family that is suffering through this tragedy and tell who will survive the person that just passed. Obituaries point out what was fascinating about the person who passed, and bring a positive attention to the person and give a positive affect to the reader.

Obituaries are interesting to me because I get to read about the person who died, many times people I never knew. For example, if I did not know the last living person who served in World War II and they passed, I would want to read about their service and their life—this is what an obituary are for.

They attract people to read about the family that is going through a tough loss at the time, and can give them positive attention and support for the families so it will be easier for them to cope with the loss of a family member.

Lastly, I enjoy obits because they tell all the fascinating points in the deceased person’s life, and I like reading them and it gives the reader a sense of imagery to how this person lived their life up to their death.

In conclusion, I find obituaries to be particularly interesting because they help the family gain positive attention. They help people get a feeling of how the deceased person lived their life, and show the interesting points.
