Product Description
by Melissa Jayne Kinsey (Author)
This book is for the obituary writer who wants to capture a loved one's spirit in a tribute as unique and funny and marvelous as the person him- or herself. It's also for those who'd rather not leave their own obituaries to chance. The author replaces dull newspaper templates with a fresh, modern take on the obituary. Using examples from the best online tributes, she explains step by step how to preserve the memory of your loved one's life in all its magnificent imperfection. She shows you how to get past that blank screen or page and choose stories and details that add texture and nuance to your portrait in just a few words. The result is an obituary that's polished but real--a colorful, captivating remembrance that does justice to the remarkable person you loved.
