Your Life Isn’t Boring — Why Should Your Obit Be?

Make it an EPIC OBIT!

The One Thing Everyone Will Read About You

Obituaries are more than the summary of your life — they also happen to be the one thing almost everyone you’ve ever known will read about you.

(If you’re like most of us, even if you’ve lost touch with someone, when you hear they died, you are curious about what they’ve been doing, and how they died. It’s natural! And when you look for information what you’ll most often find— is their obituary.)

Obituaries are the things that get shared and saved — copied into funeral programs and social media posts, tucked into family albums, and posted on genealogy and legacy sites for future generations to discover.

In many ways, they act as the “official” account of your life. You deserve to have it reflect the essence of who you are, not just what you did.

  • An obituary is a summary of your life. No one knows your life or your story better than you — that’s why taking ownership of it can be the difference between a boring obit tallying up your jobs and relatives and one that sings with personality.
  • Having your obituary written while you’re still alive (aka a “living obituary”) can ease a great burden from your loved ones. They will not have to struggle to “do you justice” while they are in the midst of grieving your loss. And you can be assured that things most important to you aren’t overlooked. A loving gift for you and them.
  • A living obituary can be a fun experience to create (yes— truly— fun)! Especially when it is an Epic Obit! With experienced guidance, you’re not trying to do it all alone— you have someone helping review, select, and write your obit (not to mention: listen to your stories!). Most people find the process enlightening, and almost everyone learns something about themselves along the way

  • An obituary is a summary of your life — you are far more than a tally of your jobs and surviving relatives—and only you know what’s most important to you.
  • Making it easier for your loved ones so they don’t struggle in the midst of grief to capture what they think you’d want, is a true gift.
  • The experience of creating a “living obituary” can be transformative and fun, especially when they are Epic Obits – because the right guidance makes all the difference!
