Their Obituary, Written for You
A writer takes the details and the stories and produces the obituary, ready for the paper.
- Can be sent anywhere in Canada or the US
What this is
A Fare-Well writer produces the obituary. We take what the family has, usually in one conversation and whatever notes exist, and write it properly. Two rounds of revision are included, and we format it to the requirements of the paper or funeral home. Family members can contribute details and stories toward it. Turnaround is fast, because obituaries always are. Available anywhere.
What's included
- One conversation to gather details and stories
- A written obituary, formatted to publication requirements
- Two rounds of revision
- Fast turnaround
- Input accepted from multiple family members
- A handwritten Fare-Well card with your message, and a memorial birdseed ornament.
- Your card and ornament are posted separately, so something still arrives at the door.
Why we chose this
Obituaries get written at one in the morning by whoever in the family is considered good at writing, on the worst night of their life, to a deadline set by a newspaper. Handing it to someone else is one of the few genuinely useful things a friend can pay for in the first forty-eight hours.
