You can also call an obit a "death notice." Obit is a commonly used informal name for an obituary. Traditionally, obits were published in newspapers either daily or weekly, while today they're just as likely to be published online, often posted by a funeral home or church that's hosting memorial services. Obit comes from the Latin obitus, "death," the past participle of obire, "to go toward" or "to die."
