*Be sure to review these special considerations:
- Document Length: The length of the prompt can present challenges due to the sheer volume of information. If your prompt ends up being too long for ChatGPT, it’s best to pair down where you can and/or consider breaking down the prompt into parts. Include only the most relevant information and/or summarized details into the prompt.
- Word Count: Specify a word count for the obituary to guide the AI in producing a focused and concise output. This prevents overly long or too brief responses.
- Clarity and Precision: Encourage the use of clear and specific information from the questionnaire. Consider summarizing or paraphrasing large sections to avoid overwhelming the AI with excessive details.
- Tone: Adjust the tone if needed.
Obituary ChatGPT Prompt:
You're writing an obituary for a deceased loved one: NAME. Using the detailed information provided in the Funeral Questionnaire below, draft a comprehensive obituary that honors their life. The tone should be formal, respectful, and deeply loving, capturing the essence of the individual and the impact they had on those around them. Create two versions of the obituary: a full obituary that should be approximately 1,000 - 2500 words long, and a condensed obituary that should be 200 to 450 words long. Ask any additional details or clarifications needed to craft a meaningful and comprehensive obituary.
