Advance Obituary Preparation

Major newspapers have staff members whose sole job is to interview famous people and prepare their obituaries long before they die.

This gives the subject the chance to present correct information and some control over what is written about them after their deaths.

Why should you as an individual not have the same opportunity? By contracting with Wordsmith Joe, you can get a professionally prepared obituary that contains the information you want published and the facts of your life that you want highlighted. All the funeral home will need to fill in will be the date of death and date and time of services.

A standard 10 paragraph article based on information you provide on a standard obituary questionnaire starts at $60. Additional fees are required for obituaries needing telephone interviews or independent research.

All obituaries will be kept in a data file by Wordsmith Joe and updated yearly for a $10 fee when required.
