obituary notice

Published memorial passage

An obituary notice is a published announcement of someone's death, typically appearing in newspapers or online.

It usually includes basic biographical information, surviving family members, and funeral arrangements.

The term is somewhat formal and redundant—obituary alone conveys the same meaning: I saw his obituary notice in the paper.
