When a loved one passes away, it’s often hard to find the right words to express your feelings. At Stevens Funeral Home in St. George, South Carolina, we honor and celebrate the lives of those who have left us through heartfelt obituaries. These tributes provide comfort to families and friends, reminding us of the cherished memories we hold dear.

What are Obituaries?

Obituaries are announcements that inform the public of a person’s death and offer details about their life. Think of them as a biography that captures the essence of a person—their achievements, passions, and the impact they had on those around them.

Importance of Obituaries

• Memory Preservation: Obituaries allow us to preserve the memory of our loved ones and share their stories.
• Community Connection: They notify friends, family, and the community about a passing, providing an opportunity for support and remembrance.
• Funeral Information: Often, obituaries include details regarding funeral services, visitation hours, and locations.

How to Write an Obituary

Writing an obituary can be a daunting task, but it can also be a beautiful way to celebrate a life. Here’s a simple guide to crafting an obituary that honors your loved one:

1. Begin with Basic Information: Include the full name, age, and date of passing.
2. Share Life Highlights: Mention important milestones such as birth date, education, career achievements, and family details.
3. Personal Touches: Add hobbies, interests, and any special memories that define their character.
4. Service Details: Clearly outline the date, time, and location of the memorial or funeral service.
5. Contributions and Donations: If applicable, mention any charities or organizations where people can make contributions in their memory.

Example Obituary Structure

• Heading: Name of the deceased, Age, Date of Passing
• Life Story: Brief biography, highlighting important moments.
• Survived By: List family members and relationships.
• Service Details: Time and place of the funeral or memorial service.
