Design a Traditional Newspaper Obituary
The front page of this newspaper obituary template follows a classic newspaper format, with a large placeholder for a photo, dates of birth and passing, name, and the newspaper masthead. On the second page, you can type in the obituary itself, add another photo, the date and location of the funeral service, list the pallbearers, and include an order of service.
Our Google Doc newspaper template is fully editable:
- Replace the placeholder with a new photo.
- Add a custom newspaper title and name.
- Include detailed information about the funeral ceremony.
- Type in the obituary using our sample content as a guide.
Creating a memorial for a loved one can be challenging, but our templates are here to simplify the process. They are perfect for both non-designers and professional obituary editors.
