Survivors and Preceded in death by
It is traditional to include names of family members, both survivors and those who have already passed away. How you choose to do this is a personal choice to be made by your family. Usually people include names of a spouse, parents, children (with any spouse’s names listed in parenthesis), grandchildren and great grandchildren. You may choose to list grandchildren and great grandchildren individually by name, or simply include the number of each. Typically siblings and their spouses names are also included. Survivors are generally listed first, followed by any preceded in death names you would like to include. This section can be personalized and may include important friends or significant people in the deceased’s life, even if they are not family.
