Obituaries: The New Digital Storytelling

Think of it like this: an obituary is the final chapter of a life story. In the past, these were often brief, formal notices, but today, they're becoming more personal, more engaging. They're a chance to celebrate a life, to share laughter and tears, and Brettschneider-Trettin-Nickel is all about capturing that essence.

Take, for instance, the obituary of Star Trek actor, Leonard Nimoy. His family turned his obituary into a tribute to his iconic character, Spock, ending with the famous line, "Live long and prosper." It was a fitting farewell to a man who had touched so many lives.

Consider the obituary of a local artist. Instead of a traditional headshot, the family chose a photo of her painting, her hands stained with color. Below, they shared her favorite quote, "Every artist was first an amateur," and recounted her love for teaching art classes at the community center.
