Write Your Own Obituary (Before Someone Else Gets It Wrong)

Let’s be honest: if you don’t write your own obituary, someone else will… and they’ll be doing it while crying, stressed, and Googling “what did they even do in the early 2000s?”

In this practical (and surprisingly fun) webinar, Angela Christensen of Nokbox Academy walks you step-by-step through how to write your own obituary — no writing experience required. Because this is one story you probably don’t want a distant relative, old coworker, or well-meaning but overwhelmed loved one trying to piece together at the last minute.

You’ll learn a simple, approachable framework for capturing your story, highlighting what actually mattered in your life, and adding your personality into every line — whether that’s heartfelt, humorous, or just very you. Yes, you can absolutely make people laugh. (In fact, we highly recommend it.)

And because one great plan deserves another, we’ll also touch on the bigger picture of end-of-life planning — from choosing songs and building your slideshow to outlining your service, setting the tone, and yes… even deciding what’s served afterward. (Because if you have strong opinions about snacks, now is the time.)

You’ll leave with clear prompts, real examples, and the confidence to start writing — because when it comes to your life story and your sendoff, you deserve the final say… not whoever volunteers first.

Angela Christensen joined The Nokbox in 2023 and now serves as an instructor with Nokbox Academy, where she teaches classes designed to help people feel prepared, organized, and confident about the future. Angela loves turning big, emotional topics into simple, manageable steps and creating a warm, supportive learning environment.

She has a genuine interest in end-of-life planning — and is a proud overachiever in the category, having completed her own Nokbox and planned her funeral details in advance (yes, including the slideshow and food). This first-hand experience fuels her passion for helping others feel calm, capable, and cared for through the process.
