Obituaries can provide not only the name of the
person and the date and place of death, but also information about
relatives, military service, employment, personal interests and
achievements, religion, places in which the individual lived, and place
of burial. Some obituaries include photographs.
Dear Ancestor
Your tombstone stands among the rest; neglected and alone.
The name and date are chiseled out on polished, marbled stone.
It reaches out to all who care
It is too late to mourn.
You did not know that I exist
You died years before I was born.
Yet each of us are cells of you
In flesh, in blood, in bone.
Our blood contracts
and beats a pulse
Entirely not our own.
The place you filled
One hundred years ago
Spreads out among
the ones you left
Who would have loved you so.
I wonder if you lived and loved,
I wonder if you knew
That someday I would
find your grave,
And come to visit you.

“Death
is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next
room. I am I, and you are you. Whatever we were to each other,
that we still are. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to
me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference in
your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed
together. Pray, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name
be the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken
without effect, without the trace of a shadow on it. Life
means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was;
there is unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an
interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner. All is
well.” ... Unknown
