- **Event Name**: The Story Only You Can Tell: Obituary Writing Workshop
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 22 Mar, 2026 at 02:00 pm
- **Event Description**: At Scanlan’s, we believe that obituaries are more than just announcements – they’re celebrations of a life well-lived. Helping families tell those stories well is something we are honored to do.

In this free, in-person workshop, our Director/President Kiera Scanlan Wespestad will draw on her over 20 years at Scanlan’s to help you begin writing an obituary that feels meaningful and true – whether it’s for someone dear to you or even for yourself (yes, really – no one knows your story better than you do).

Bring a laptop if you’d like, but you’re just as welcome with pen and paper – we’ll have everything you need. No writing experience required, just a willingness to reflect, remember, and begin.

Date &amp; Time: Sunday, March 22nd at 2:00 PM
