Who composes the obituary that is given to the newspaper?
In most cases, the funeral home must submit the obituary to the newspaper. Your funeral director takes you through the process of creating an obituary that includes any groups or organizations the deceased a member of, church membership, hobbies, veteran status, employment history, and sometimes education. The obituary will then go on to list all family members that have preceded the person in death, and all family members still surviving the deceased.
