According to research conducted by www.legacy.com, the average obituary length is 836 characters.
But, there’s no set word count for an obituary. You can make it as long or short as you want. If you publish the obituary in a larger-sized newspaper, you will typically be charged for each word. Longer obituaries will cost more than shorter ones.
