Hi Judy, Gail is right. Mostly on a German Obituary is the persons, name how old the person was and when the service is. We are a little bit spoiled with the Obituaries here in the States. There are a piece of history for each person. You have to pay for every word you write in an Obituary. So an Obituary would become very expensive. That is they they are real short. Here they are a service of the Funeral home to post an Obituary. Katharina > >Judy, I don't know if I am much help but what I have is the announcement >in >the paper of the person's death.
