Details To Learn When Writing A Funeral Notice

Quite a bit of preparation is required when planning someone's burial services. After all details are in place, a public announcement containing all pertinent information is usually made. Formal funeral notices are the easiest way to let a large amount of people know of an individual's passing and how and where final respects may be paid.

There is a difference between this announcement and an obituary. The obit is usually created by someone at the newspaper using a template to provide only basic details of the death. A notice provides the family an opportunity to share more personal information as well as the specifics regarding memorial and burial services.

Such announcements are typically posted in local papers but it is not uncommon for them to be made via personal invitations or emails. There are two main ways for them to be done. The simple form states name, location and time only, while the other choice is filled with personal information, details on all services and sometimes a photograph of the deceased.

Certain information is considered standard for such announcements. The primary detail being the individual's full name, as well as commonly used nicknames and, if applicable, a maiden name. The piece may also include where they lived, the date they died, the family they leave behind and the when and where of all services to be held in their honor.

Further details of their passing may be included if desired. Adding personal information such as the person's hometown, where they were educated, places they've worked, whether they were military, their religious preferences, civic activities, hobbies and interests may be appreciated by others. It may also be prudent to identify the service officiant and chosen pallbearers.

If services are to be for family only, this should be clearly noted in the announcement. When charitable donations are requested in lieu of flowers, that stipulation can be stated in this piece. Funeral notices are more than just a formal way to let others know of a passing, they are a way to honor the dead.
