Whereas in every village or town, the death of a near one is an extremely sentimental affair. Although it's known, grief is universal, the ways we mourn, honour and remember those we've lost differs depending on culture, tradition, and place. The obituary in Moncton, New Brunswick is still a strong and valued tradition, as it serves multiple purposes, not only to inform the community of the passing, but also to honour a life, a history and a story to share with the community.
In a growing community such as this that is increasingly more diverse and bilingual, and is strongly connected to both Anglophone and francophone culture, the art of writing and sharing obituaries has matured into an important vehicle for families to share their grief and keep heritage alive at the same time,” the obituary's creators wrote.
