I write obituaries. People think it’s odd, ghoulish & downright creepy. Little do they realise that obits are not morbid, nor are they just “about dead people”. They’re all about LIFE!

An obituary is a phenomenal way to honour the life of a person who made a difference to the world, whether it was in a colossal manner, with fanfare & headlines, or in a modest, understated way. Everyone on this planet has a story & an obituary is a way to tell that story.

I hope that this site, Famous Last Words, will encourage you to seek out the stories of those around you who had an impact on your life. As a bonus, you’re very likely to learn something new & possibly be inspired by the fascinating & illuminating ways that people lived their lives.
