When it comes to honoring the lives of loved ones, obituaries play a vital role. They serve as a tribute, a remembrance, and a way to share the story of a life lived. The Boyd-Horrox-Givnish Funeral Home is dedicated to providing families with the opportunity to celebrate and commemorate their loved ones through thoughtful and beautifully crafted obituaries.

Understanding Obituaries

What is an Obituary?

An obituary is a notice of a person's death, often published in newspapers and online platforms. It typically includes essential details such as:

• The deceased's full name
• Date of birth and death
• A brief biography or life story
• Information about the funeral service
• Details about surviving family members

These written tributes not only inform the community of a person's passing but also celebrate their life and achievements.

Why are Obituaries Important?

Obituaries serve several purposes, including:

• Commemoration: They act as a way to honor the deceased, capturing their essence and life achievements.
• Community Notification: They inform friends, colleagues, and community members about the death and funeral arrangements.
• Legacy: They provide an opportunity for families to reflect on and articulate the legacy their loved one leaves behind.
