Definition
Notices of death published in newspapers or online, typically including biographical information and details about funeral services.
Etymology
From Latin 'obitus' meaning death or departure, from 'obire' (to go toward, to die). The practice of published death notices developed with newspapers in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Kelly Says
Obituaries are among the most-read sections of newspapers because they're often the most honest writing published - people tend to tell the real truth about someone's life after they've died. Some people write their own obituaries in advance, ensuring their story is told exactly as they want it remembered.
