Presented by the Cultural Center of Cape Cod on Thursday, April 22, from 10-11:30am and Thursday, April 29, from 11am-noon. This class meets online on Zoom.

Have you ever read an obituary and cringed? Perhaps it wasn’t very flattering or didn’t seem to capture the person’s life as you think they would have wanted, or the content was so brief and generic that you were left asking, "I wonder what the real story of that person’s life was?"

Why leave the writing of your obituary up to a family member or friend when you can tell your own story? Attend this class and write your own obituary in the company of people who won’t criticize or judge you. In this fun and friendly program, we will look at this interesting tradition, review different styles of obituaries, talk about what makes a good obituary, and go over some common do's and don'ts.

Then you'll write your own obituary, which you can choose to share with the group for discussion and feedback, or not. We've adapted this class to a Zoom format so you can participate from the comfort and safety of home. Now is the perfect time to complete this inspiring and necessary task! We've adapted this class to a Zoom format so you can participate from the comfort and safety of home.
