Description: M.A.G.I. Course #13 educates the student to the proper understanding of collecting, correlating and writing obituaries. Mr. Pratt highlights the reasons and procedures for collecting data concerning a decedent and instructs the student in the “proper techniques” of composing an informative and respectful obituary.

Most obituaries I have read fall considerably short as to giving a good detailed description of the life events of the dearly departed. 

In this course lesson, I will address the procedures, techniques and methods one can use prior, during and after the life of the subject in preparation of an obituary.
