Biography after death (8)
I believe the answer is:
obituary
'biography after death' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for obituary that I've seen before include "Brief newspaper account of deceased person's life" , "Brief newspaper account of dead person's life" , "note of closure?" , "Short newspaper piece about deceased luminary" , "Short account of deceased person's life in a newspaper" .)
