$0.00

This lecture will take place in the Belmont Chapel at Island Cemetery. May 7, 2026

Talking about obituaries won’t make you dead. This engaging workshop offers practical tools for writing obituaries that reflect a real life, not just a list of facts. Through examples and guided prompts, participants will learn how to move beyond clichés and tell a meaningful story—whether writing for themselves or someone they love.
