Many people have given little thought as to how they would like their obituary to read. Perhaps you should consider the content. Maybe you served in the military and that part of your life was very important to you and the person that you are. You want your friends and family to know just how much that meant to you. Maybe your volunteer work at your local school or hospital defines you. Or perhaps it is all about your work and how you gave many years to a business or organization.

Maybe you simply want the date of your birth and your chronological history in your obituary. Maybe you don’t even want an obituary.

Whatever your choice, it is important to document that and let your family know your wishes.
