Well having written my step dads obit in April, it made me think about the same sorts of things. I have not however done a thing about it. On the other hand, my mom who came close to dying during the same time period that my step dad died wants to put some facts on paper and place then in her safe which I think is a good idea. Things like which groups she belongs too and for how long, when she graduated from wherever, things of this nature. It was a bit difficult piecing all of this together when my step dad died, and I'm sure we didn't get it all in. I did personalize the obit quite a bit, but did this even more so for the memorial service. There's usually a memory card (for lack of a better term) handed out during the service, and that's where I got a bit more personal.

Interesting thread. Thanks
