How To Write A Death Or Funeral Notice

One of the common questions we’re asked is how to write a death or funeral notice.

Firstly, you don’t have to prepare one of these notices for your loved one—though many do in order to inform friends and family of the passing and to let them know details of the funeral ceremony.

If you do decide to write a notice however, we can help.

Don’t assume that publishing a death or funeral notice is something you have to do yourself prior to engaging us.

We can organise it for you—in fact, this is often a critical step in the preparation and lead-up to the funeral ceremony. As a result, most of our funeral and cremation packages include preparing a death or funeral notice and publishing it in a local or interstate newspaper.

We will help you with everything from language and wording of the notice, to the image of your loved one accompanying it (if you choose to include an image).

So, before you jump ahead and start writing a death or funeral notice, speak to us as we can help you with this important step.
