Funeral Notices

While not compulsory newspaper notices formally advise the deceased's friends of the death as well as where and when the funeral service will take place. We will help you write the funeral notice and organise publication. Funeral notices generally conform to a pattern as follows;

  • Deceased surname, deceased first and other names
  • Honours if any
  • Regimental details if applicable
  • When and where the deceased died and their age
  • Family details and relationships
  • You may wish to place a small verse or quote relating to the deceased
  • Funeral details and any wishes regarding flowers or donation; Contact details for people to send cards or letter

This is a very general format. Your funeral director will be able to guide you through the process and advise you on the options available.
