Another option is to place a shorter version in the newspaper and a longer obituary on the funeral home's website
Some choose to instead add these mini biographies to the funeral program.
Just remember the more content you add to the obituary, the more the obituary will cost. More and more families are adding an abbreviated life history of the deceased, including some significant accomplishments of their life. There is no stead fast rule to the length of an obituary. It is common for people to use more than one newspaper to publish the death of the deceased, particularly if they lived in another part of the country for a portion of their life. It is a way to let people know of the death. An obituary is the notice or announcement of the death of the deceased that is placed in the newspaper and often on the funeral home's website.
