It’s always hard to plan for own death. It’s downright terrifying when you write for yourself an obituary. Death planning comes with quite a few thought-provoking challenges. How do you want to be remembered? What do you want to accomplish? These are crucial questions that drive your decisions. But they can do extra.
They can help you decide if the legacy you’re creating is what you want to leave behind. Unlike writing an obituary for a loved one, writing your obituary for own self gives you the chance to look at your life. It lets you get the opportunity of sharing your tale. You’ll have peace of mind by having your say. And as well you can help your friends and family by starting this difficult task for them.
It is a good idea to get some inspiration as you begin. To facilitate this, you should consider doing some primary research either by reading some published newspaper obituaries or browsing online. Today, lengthy obituaries and smaller announcements are still standard. You can find them in your local newspaper, prominent publications, and even on social media.
Don’t be afraid, you don’t have to go back to English lessons. But knowledge about the basic format of these announcements is a good idea. An obituary informs people about the occurrence of death, and details about the funeral or memorial service, and some may include a brief of the deceased’s life and the legacy they leave behind.
Commencing: Start with stating the full name and leave space to mention the date of death. Also, leave space for mentioning the cremation location and space for mentioning the details of post-cremation or funeral ceremonies. Do not be bothered too much about the particulars since you don’t know or have them yet.
Synopsis: Next, share a brief of your life. Start from birth and make sure to include only vital facts. Make a note of all those most important life experiences that have touched you differently, and you want your loved ones to be remembered or know them once you leave this world.
Loved Ones: List your loved ones- spouse, children, parents, siblings, friends, or relatives (living or dead). Why? Because Obituaries help readers determine if they have a personal connection to the deceased.
Funeral details: As aforementioned leave space for mentioning the cremation ground or funeral home. If you want a certain type of cremation or funeral process to be performed, include it in this section. Sharing contact information for the person who will oversee your cremation or funeral is good practice (this can be altered based on the situation come may)
Legacy: Finally, list any particulars you’d like done to honour your memory. For example, you might request a donation to your charity of choice. Or, arrange eatables for the underprivileged etc.
Now it’s time to start writing. This is the hardest part how do you sum up a lifetime of memories and connections? Keep in mind that most obituaries are short, they’re typically between 200-500 words. The exception can be only for some significant publications, but not the rule.
When writing the first draft, write as much as you need. This is a work in progress and helps later in shortlisting and scrutinizing important facts:
If you’re still not sure what to write, then ask your friends and family to help doing so. They probably know you better than you know yourself! Their fond memories of you and what they cherish about you will drive you to begin writing.
Your obituary won’t be ideal right away. This is meant to evolve and change. Your life has never been a one-dimensional page. Therefore, your obituary also keeps evolving and develops with you.
Practice revising your obituary as you continue to encounter new things. Also, whilst you revise your obituary, you might recognize that you have a different idea of the legacy you want to leave behind. If that’s the case, imagine your new world of prospects.
There’s no ideal way out when it comes to writing your obituary. You simply have to write the words that mean something to you. From there, you can always make alterations. Don’t be afraid to modify.
Finally, share your obituary draft with your loved ones. Share it with reliable relatives, and make sure they know your last wishes. Don’t leave your obituary trapped in a diary or saved somewhere confidentially on your computer or other devices.
There are a few ways you can share your obituary with loved ones. Ideally, you can email them. Also, you may always keep the latest print of your last draft in a place that is easily accessible to only your reliable person. Plus, you must make sure your family has access to your legal decisions and obituary documents, too.

Truly a noble effort. Excellent experience. Please keep it up.
Excellent work, everything well planned on time, when family members were in deep sorrow, Jatin services was very helpful.
Thankyou so much for such good experience. It was very important for me as my father passed away, you indeed ensured we did everything well for him
I contacted the team after sudden demise of my father .. at such time you are unable to process much and arranging everything for a proper funeral is very difficult. The arrangement done by the team was very smooth and they were very patient throughout the process and gave us the time to pay our regards. They also made sure that there was no waiting at the cremation ground. It gave us a lot of peace knowing that the last rites were performed as per rituals and in the best way possible. God bless you for doing this noble work and helping people at time of grief.

I highly recommend them and in times when the family is coping with the loss of a family member Noble Sparrows take over and arrange everything for the family. 👌

I used the services of Noble Sparrows when my mother passed on and I can't thank them enough for making those most difficult days, a bit easier by managing all rituals and arrangements perfectly. The team is understanding and sensitive to the situation and do their best to help in any way they can. Thank you
Death a word itself is so scary and if you live in a metro city , arrangement of carrying out cremation and other rituals becomes very tedious for already grieving family . Here comes the empathetic noble sparrows . The moment i called them the voice on other side was so soothing and talking to Mr Jatin took away my all worries when my dear mom passed away .they take care of end to end rituals in a very professional way. Everything is taken care of . Mr Jatin you are doing a very noble work . Hats off to your spirit and empathetic nature. Appreciate a lot !!
Jatin and his entire team are extremely professional in their approach. We used their services in managing the last rites and rituals for a bereavement in the family. Despite a late night call, their promptness and quality in managing the entire set of events was commendable. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Jatin and your team. Everything was perfectly organized. I live in Japan and I was extremely impressed with your response time and punctuality.
Fantastic Service. You are doing noble work
The quick, response and quickest possible arrangement of funeral of my mother was very well handled by team Noble.... I am highly indebted 🙇🏼♀️🙇🏼♀️. Money is secondary in a moment of crisis full of grief and pain. Their charges were okay for me.
Their services are excellent. We had them to do everything from flower decorations, bhajan singer , catering and everything was tastefully done and looked very graceful. At a time like this , their services are hassle free and one can totally depend on them to give a heartwarming and dependable experience. Thank you noble sparrows !! Great work
They have been excellent in providing a one stop help for cremation and memorial meet. Jatin has been gr8 in providing all support.
In the aftermath of the loss of a loved one we all experience an indelible void. A flood of emotions ranging from despair, a sense of heightened anxiety and depression. Noble Sparrows led by a truly noble young man , Jatinn Bhargav along with his team has rendered to us on two occasions such a seamless, efficient experience -almost spiritual in its flawless execution - their services range from step by step funeral arrangements to even facilitating the prayer ceremony - their work ethic steeped in sensitivity and unobtrusive efficiency and integrity is so so laudable- Noble Sparrows you truly live your brand persona - God bless to everyone and their loved ones as you go about doing this noble service
