Name, age, and place of residence of the deceased: *
Date of passing, place of death and/or cause of death:
The cause of death is something many families wonder if they should include. This is a personal decision that does not have a right or wrong answer.
Surviving family members:
A general format to follow when listing relatives is to list survivors first, starting with the spouse, then children, grandchildren (if there are a lot of grandchildren you can simply list how many there are), parents and siblings. Other relations may be mentioned by phrases like, “and their large extended family,” or “along with a close-knit group of friends.”
Life Summary:
The most significant part of writing an obituary is to highlight your loved one’s life story. This is the essence of the obituary and it can include personal quirks, favorite moments, and special ways your loved one shared their life with others. Carefully selecting events that are emblematic of their values, priorities and passions can help to paint a richer picture of who they were.

Here are some examples to write about:

The beauty of their life, your fondest memories, their character, qualities you loved the most and those you loved the least, the depth of their impact on others, how they inspired you, their significant accomplishments or the perspective their life gave to you and others. 
Service times:
Include the time (am or pm), full date, and name and address of ceremony location. 
If your ceremony is private then it would be best to not list them publicly in the obituary.
Concluding message:
Special requests may be made such as, “in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to…” or “Our heartfelt thanks to the staff at General Hospital for…”

Some families make the final line a dedication honoring their loved one. Phrases like “We will always carry your memory in our hearts,” or perhaps a favorite quote of your loved one are heartfelt and personal. Other families select a short prayer, a religious quotation, or a line from a poem to place at the end. While these messages are optional, they help to conclude the obituary and offer a final space to further personalize your tribute.
