Newspapers. Even though physical newspapers may not be so popular anymore, you should consider publishing an obituary in a local paper, particularly for family and friends who read the newspaper in print. In addition, most local news outlets have websites where they publish obituaries online.

An obituary tends to have three distinct parts: the beginning (name, age, date of death, cause of death [if possible to include], work, education); the middle (anecdotes that celebrate the person's life); and the end (so-and-so is survived by, which Chang calls “a very efficient way of saying who's grieving.”)
