Who is responsible for posting funeral notices?

It is illegal to post your own notice showing details and dates of a funeral. A funeral notice can only be done by a licensed funeral director when they have cited the death certificate and can verify that the certificate matches the body. You cannot do it yourself because there would be a lot of people posting fake funeral notices of people who they hold a grudge against.

Writing an obituary is the responsibility of the family or next of kin of the deceased. There are many ways to write one, you could begin just with the name of the deceased. Date of death, then accomplishments, then family. It is recommended to look at a paper and see how others have done it and what seems appropriate to you.

In order to write an obituary, here are some rules:

You mention the person’s home town and relatives
you never say anything negative
you try to say something positive, no matter how it sounds to people who actually know the person.
