What is the difference between a “death notice” and an “obituary”?
Death Notices and Obituaries are both published records to announce deaths. A death notice is usually a brief notification that contains only basic related information about the deceased. An obituary is usually more detailed, providing information about the deceased’s education, career, family members, survivors and funeral arrangements. However, this is not always the case. In some areas of the country, the death notice is very detailed – and, in others, a typical obituary can be very brief.
