It's that time of year again -- Daily Deathiversaries calendar time!
The 2025 Daily Deathiversaries calendar will help you remember and honor your favorite celebrities and well-known names from entertainment and popular cultural history on the anniversary of their passing.
IAQs (Infrequently Asked Questions)
Q. Why did you pick Person X for a particular date, when Person Y also died on that date? Person Y is much more famous / important / popular / beloved / interesting / attractive, etc.
A. No offense intended to Person Y, but sometimes it's a difficult choice between a bunch of people. We generally focus primarily on movie and TV people, and we don't include someone who was on last year's calendar. It's not a popularity contest, and we want to give everyone a chance to participate. If Person Y isn't on the calendar this year, they might have been on it last year. Or maybe next year.
Q. Who's that person? I've never heard of them! Why are they on my calendar?!
A. Sadly, we can't honor the passing of a universally acclaimed, globally celebrated entertainment superstar on every day of the year. There just aren't enough of them to go around. And sometimes, that's intentional. If you don't know who someone is, look them up. You might be glad you did, and you'll learn something. And everyone is important to someone.
Q. I've ordered your calendars in previous years, and they always look great. What's your secret? A. Thanks very much. For nearly 10 years, we've been using
Printing Center USA. Before that, we tried a few other companies, but Printing Center USA beats them all in price, quality, speed of delivery, and great customer service. If you're looking to print your own calendars, brochures, books, catalogs, or any other printing need, we highly recommend Printing Center USA. Users rate them 4.9/5.0 with more than 1,700 reviews. And, no, we didn't get any special deal or discount for recommending them, although we are completely open to that possibility. *hint, hint*
Q. Who took the grave pictures?
A. We did.
Q. The photos are quite lovely.
A. Aw, shucks. Thank you very much, we appreciate that. We intentionally try not to be excessively artistic or creative (primarily because we aren't even minimally artistic or creative). We want you to see the grave marker exactly as it is, as you would see it if you happened to find it in the cemetery.
Q. Why is the cause of death sometimes listed as "unknown"? Surely, there must be a reason they died. Is there a mystery surrounding their passing? Should there be an investigation? Should someone call the police? Was it, perhaps ... murder??!
A. It's a calendar, not a legal document. In almost all cases, there is a legitimate, medical and scientific reason why someone died. But, even for a celebrity, that reason isn't always publicly announced. Sometimes the family chooses not to share that information. Perhaps they want to retain a little privacy, or they might think it's none of your business. And we respect that.
Q. Isn't this a little intrusive? Do we really need to know the exact cause of death for a beloved celebrity?
A. Do you need to know? Absolutely not. But we're including the cause of death, if we know it. Why? Believe it or not, even beloved celebrities are actual human beings. They have the same strengths, weaknesses, illnesses and human frailties we all do. And, like all of us eventually will, they die. In fact, for some people dealing with physical or mental health issues or difficulties, it might actually be comforting to know that a famous person had the same struggles, and they're not alone.
Q. I think this calendar is morbid and depressing, and it makes me feel sad. What can you do about that?
A. Thank you for putting your complaint in the form of a question. We're genuinely sorry that you feel sad. You might be happier with a different calendar. We suggest you search online for "fluffy kitten calendars," or whatever doesn't make you sad. There are plenty of options.
Q. Would people at work get creeped out if I hung this calendar in my cubicle at work?
A. Probably not. It's not scary or weird. (Well, it's not scary, anyway.) In fact, it might even start some interesting conversations. Whenever people see the calendar for the first time, they always, always check and see who died on their birthday. And if it's someone they don't know, you can tell them their story, since you've already looked them up (see Question 2). Who knows? Maybe you'll find a kindred spirit and make some new friends. You'd be surprised to find out how many people are secret cemetery fans.
Q. Why should I buy your calendar?
A. That's a great question. We realize that you have a lot of calendar-buying options, from fine art, to holiday and seasonal, to fluffy kittens, to scenic locations around the world, to inspiring motivational messages, to sweaty, half-naked firefighters. But, as far as we know, this is the only wall calendar of this type available anywhere in the whole, wide world. We also provide personal service to make sure that everyone is happy with their purchase, and we sincerely appreciate your business.
Q. Am I going to like this product? Will I be happy with my purchase?
A. Just check the reviews. This is only our second year selling on Etsy, and we honestly don't sell a whole lot of calendars. Every buyer gets personal treatment. "Dead Celebrity Calendars" is a pretty niche market, so we don't have a lot of reviews. Even so, our customers unanimously rate us as 5/5. Product quality and customer satisfaction are our only goals. If you're not happy with your purchase or our customer service, let us know, and we will do whatever it takes to make you happy (within moral, ethical and legal limits, but honestly, we can be pretty flexible on the moral and ethical stuff *wink*).
Q. Do you think anyone is still reading down this far on the page?
A. Probably not.
For each and every day of the year, we identify a celebrity who died on that day, the year they died, and their cause of death. And, for each month, we feature an original gravesite photo for one of the celebrities who died that month.
The 2025 Daily Deathiversaries calendar features iconic names from years gone by and Hollywood's Golden Age, and recent departures from 2024 -- including Bob Newhart, Shelly Duvall, Steve Lawrence, Shannen Doherty and James Earl Jones -- and hundreds more film and TV performers, directors, singers, writers, comedians and other legends (or near-legends) of entertainment and popular culture.
And, as always, the calendar features all new, never-before-seen grave marker photos for each month, including Paul Reubens, Fred Willard, Larry King, Phil Silvers, Karen Carpenter and Marsha Hunt.
It's a great conversation piece, and an attractive, artistic addition to the wall of any home, work cubicle, place of business, rec room or personal mausoleum. And it makes a great gift!
The 2025 Daily Deathiversaries calendar, featuring celebrity deathiversaries for all 365 days of the year, is only US $22, postage paid, for all U.S. orders. That's only 6 cents per day -- less than the price of a dime! All international orders are an additional US $3 per calendar for additional postage and fees, for a total of US $25. But that's still a good deal, right?
Limited quantities are available, so order now!
And thanks!
