Making Obituaries Fun
March 21st, 2007
There’s a reason obituaries are stuck in the back pages of your local papers.
Plain and simple, it’s because obituaries (at their core) are extremely boring, depressing, and lack any kind of creative pizazz you’d want from something fun. Obituaries are like funerals in that they’re somber and take themselves way too seriously. Even obituary writers, as I’ve been told, wish there was a way out of the deady doldrums (as obituary writers have dubbed them), yet their editors refuse to let them have the creative freedom they dream of each and every day.
But if people would just open their minds, they’d find that there were simple ways to make obituaries fun.
