Free Obituary Template

As a caregiver you are a hero.  Period.

It may feel like a thankless job much of the time.  However, you know the value of your daily routine.

Your days are one task after another.  If you aren’t organized, or have a particularly scattered day, you are chasing your tail, aren’t you?

Without your routine, and the rhythm of the day, you and those you care for are just not going to get the nurturing you normally are able to give seemingly without effort.  (You make it look SO easy!)

Frustrating isn’t it?!

When there is a death in the family, life is dumped upside down.  Your routine is out the window.  Getting things done becomes a challenge.

Utilize every resource you can find.


You will find many that will make your life a whole lot easier, and your memories much more easy to gather.


Free obituary templates can be very helpful.

You will find them by clicking on the links below

Free Obituary Template __You will find a printable form to submit to newspapers at this site.

Obituary Guide __This is a useful template to jog your memory of all the things you may want to mention.

Love To Know __You’ll find some sample writings here.

Free Obituary Templates __You’ll find helpful samples and templates for short and detailed obituaries at this site.

Newspapers have obituaries pre-written and standing by, so that when famous people pass away their obituary is ready to go.  This might feel a bit morbid to you, but it can also make life a lot easier during a time that is painful and traumatic to all involved.

Your loved one may like the idea of preparing something ahead of time, and leaving one less thing for you to have to worry about.  Coming from them, you’ll know that the details that are important to them will be remembered.

Free funeral program templates can help you quickly create a special tribute to your loved one.

You’ll find 36 beautiful designs to choose from when you click on the link below

You might enjoy a brief message of support from the same site.

You can watch it on YouTube if your browser doesn’t cooperate with the video posted here.

An online “Life Memory” site can help as well.

Go to Life Memory.com and create a free site.  It will provide you with:

  • a unique address that you can give to your family and friends (your loved ones name).LifeMemory.com
  • really easy to use tools that help you build the site
  • a place to upload as many pictures of your loved one as you want
  • the ability to create video tributes with audio and pictures
  • a condolence book to allow family and friends to share a word of comfort, or a happy memory

Since you can update anytime and the site lasts forever, its a great way to share pictures of everyone we love.  What a blessing to have a way for our loved ones to leave a collection of memories to pass on to future generations, that can’t be damaged by water, fire, or age.

Take the time to collect your memories in one safe place.

A free obituary template, and a free funeral program template can make things easier on you now and when you need it most.

You don’t need to feel like this type of preparation is gloomy in anyway.  In fact, make the Life Memory site a fun family activity and it becomes a celebration of life!

I am always celebrating Life and I invite you to celebrate with me!
