    Writing an obituary while grieving is hard. Our free obituary generator takes the pressure off by turning a few simple details about your loved one into a polished, respectful tribute in under a minute — at no cost.

    Example – A free full obituary

    Margaret Elizabeth Thompson, 78, of Springfield, passed away peacefully on March 15, 2024, surrounded by her family. Born June 12, 1945, in Boston, she devoted 40 years to teaching and was known for her warmth, her garden, and her Sunday dinners. She is survived by her husband of 55 years, James; her children Robert, Jennifer, and David; and eight grandchildren. A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. on March 20 at St. Mary’s Church. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Springfield Education Foundation.

    Generated free in the “heartfelt” tone — fully editable and yours to copy.

    How to write an obituary for free in 3 steps

    You do not need to be a writer. The generator guides you through everything an obituary should contain and assembles it into clear, dignified prose.

    • Share the details: name, dates, birthplace, a short life story, family members, and service information.
    • Choose a tone — formal, heartfelt, religious, or lighthearted — that reflects your loved one.
    • Generate instantly, then read, copy, or refine your obituary. It is free to use.

    Why families choose a free AI obituary generator

    Funeral homes often charge for obituary writing, and newspapers charge by the word. A free generator gives you a professional draft you can use anywhere — for the funeral program, the newspaper, or an online memorial — without the writing stress or the writing fee.

    Because the obituary is fully editable, you stay in complete control. Add a favorite memory, adjust a phrase, or regenerate until it feels right.
