How do you write an obituary with multiple spouses?

If you are writing an obituary for someone who has two wives or multiple spouses, treat it as you would any obituary. List all of the spouses in the survivors’ section. You could list the spouses’ names alphabetically, in order of marriage dates, or whatever way makes sense for your family.
