Should I list our parents?

Yes. List parents under survivors or preceded-in-death as appropriate; it situates your sibling in the family.

Can I write it for a brother and a sister the same way?

Yes. Use the same prompts and adjust the names and pronouns; the structure is identical.

Free obituary writing help

An obituary for a brother or sister can capture shared history, the family they belonged to, and the life they built of their own.

The obituary writer works like the eulogy builder, with stricter fact review for names, dates, family, and service details.

Add only confirmed names, dates, family details, services, and life story notes.

Review the draft before publishing, especially phrases like peacefully or surrounded by loved ones.

Use the editor to refine, copy, print, or prepare text for a funeral home or newspaper.

Name parents (surviving or predeceased), siblings, partner and children, plus the work, interests, and character the family wants remembered.

Confirm survivor and predeceased relationships carefully, especially across blended or extended families.

Practical answers before you draft.
