Obituaries and Death Notices
When someone dies in America it is common practice for the family to place a notice of death in the newspaper. Usually this costs money. If the person is prominent, the newspaper might also write a short article about them (an “obituary” or “obit”). Both death notices and obituaries may announce the time and place of funeral services.
