Writing Your Own Obituary

Why leave the writing of your obituary up to a family member or friend when you can write your own?
Have you ever read an obituary and cringed? Perhaps it wasn’t very flattering, or it didn’t seem to capture the person’s life as you think they would have preferred…or, after a long life, the content was so brief and non-descriptive that you were left asking, I wonder what the real story of that person’s life was?  Attend this class and write your own obituary in the company of people who won’t criticize or judge you. We will go over different styles of obituaries, what makes a good obituary, and common do’s and don’ts. Each student will then write their own and can choose to share or not with the group for discussion and feedback. This class meets in the Owl Hall on the main level of the Education Wing.  Admission: $35.00 Member/$40.00 Non-Member
