The obituary belongs to your family — the funeral home's job is to help you publish it, not to decide what it says.

These are the details AI tools are most likely to get wrong, especially if the funeral home pulled information from a brief intake form. Then read for tone — does it sound like the person?

Grief can leave you genuinely speechless, and asking AI to help you find the right words is not the same as not caring. The issue isn't using AI for a first draft; it's sending that draft untouched.

Take what AI gives you, then rewrite it in your own words and add one thing you actually remember about the person.",{"q":2807,"a":2808},"Will people be able to tell if my condolence message was written by AI?","Often, yes — not because they run a detection tool, but because AI condolence messages tend to use similar phrases ('I hold you in my thoughts,' 'words cannot express') and lack the specific, personal details that make a message feel real. Grief is one of the situations where generic language is most noticeable.

Most obituaries published online can be updated, and reputable funeral homes will do this at no extra charge when there's a clear factual error.
