Obituary
An obituary is a news article that reports the recent death of a person, typically along with an account of the person's life and information about the upcoming funeral. In large cities and larger newspapers, obituaries are written only for people considered significant. In local newspapers, an obituary may be published for any local resident upon death. A necrology is a register or list of records of the deaths of people related to a particular organization, group or field, which may only contain the sparsest details, or small obituaries. Historical necrologies can be important sources of information.
Two types of paid advertisements are related to obituaries. One, known as a death notice, omits most biographical details and may be a legally required public notice under some circumstances. The other type, a paid memorial advertisement, is usually written by family members or friends, perhaps with assistance from a funeral home. Both types of paid advertisements are usually run as classified advertisements.

Necrology
by: My Own GraveFrom the crest of ghastly sight, the monstrosity of war
With ageless eyes I see the past
Where crimson streams of blood have flown
Over corpses past and flags of old the sun shall rise
Oblivious to laws of man to bathe the dead with blinding light
The shun shall rise
The first will rise
The chosen first in linefor ritual sacrifice
For rebirth as cenotaph they all must die
Cycle ancient as time
Bloodbath, purge and rectify
Disciples of war to sacrifice
Let the words of vegetius echo evermore
A message buried in our blood
To the few who crave for peace
Prepare for war
The horizon fades to black
Cytotoxics fill the air
Hounds of terror breathing panic as the blitz exterminates
Let the victors rise and fall for whatever god may come
The puppeteer will never be the first to succumb
Grinded into sludge
The chosen first in linefor ritual sacrifice
For rebirth as cenotaph they all must die
Cycle ancient as time
Bloodbath, purge and rectify
Disciples of war to sacrifice
