How to Write an Obituary

If you search “how to write an obituary,” you’ll encounter oceans of articles about how you’ll need a few key dates, a listing of schools and jobs, and a listing of family members. The way it’s always been done. At Epilogg we ask, but where’s the LIFE? Where’s the joy, the heartbreak, the quirks, the legends, the jokes, the drama?

What will YOUR story be?

We’re reading obituaries all day every day, so we may have lost some perspective, but we here at Epilogg think telling a life story should be anything but gloomy or depressing.

Dying in America is Expensive

Let’s Talk About Death

I learned a lot about a friend at his recent funeral. I thought I knew the man who was a teacher and mentor to me, but while I listened to the speakers and watched a poignant photo slideshow of his life, I realized I hadn’t really known him and what a rich, complex and vibrant life he had led.

Dondi Schwart's Dad

Save the Stories

A friend posted on Instagram yesterday that her dad had passed away after a long stay in hospice. After a rollercoaster of health crises, she immediately wanted to share happier stories and memories. My heart connected with the emotions she was sharing as I remembered my similar moment in February 2016.
