I am jumping into the conversation late. Here is what I do... I create an Obituary event. I transcribe the entire obituary into the event notes. I attach a scan of the entire newspaper page to the event (if I only have a clipping found in someone's possession and I can't find the newspaper page then I will scan just the clipping) I create a source citation. I extract/enter all of the evidence contained in the obit and attached the citation to it.

Personally I like the full obit to show in reports. Many years from now it may not be available, even in a scanned version if it is an old one.
