The Last Word: Learn the Art of Writing an Obituary

  • 480 Primrose Road Burlingame California (map)

CLASS DESCRIPTION: Move beyond using a template and write an obituary that creates a meaningful, honest and truly reflective story of a life lived. A well-written obituary is an act of kindness and a lasting gift for yourself and your loved ones.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR: Mary McGreevy will join us from Minnesota, where her childhood hobby of reading obituaries blossomed into the best chapter of her life. Through her social media account, Tips from Dead People, (IG, TikTok, Substack), Mary uses storytelling to remind people what matters most (and least) in this trip around the sun.

Class will include an additional 30 minutes after instruction time to work on your writing in community with other attendees.

Also available via Zoom.
