The Stories We Leave Behind: Why Obituaries Still Matter

Team BFTeam BF

In the early days after loss, there is often one task that looms larger than all the rest: writing the obituary. At first, it may feel like a formality, a public notice of someone’s passing. If you look a little closer, you begin to see it for what it truly is. An obituary isn't just a record of death, it's a story of life. It's the final chapter that captures how someone lived, loved, and mattered.

Why Preparing for Loss is an Act of Love

Jay, CEO of BestFarewell

Most of us would rather talk about anything else. The subject of death sits quietly in the background of our lives, waiting for us to look it in the eye. We avoid it because it feels too heavy, too final, too uncomfortable to plan for. But here is the truth: preparing for loss is not about dwelling on death. It is about love.

When a loved one passes, grief often arrives quietly. There are funeral arrangements, phone calls, and paperwork. After these tasks are completed, families are left with a quiet sense of loss and the longing to feel close again.
