Tips For Writing Notice Of Funeral Service

When writing funeral announcements, you need to follow the right format. This is to ensure that you pass across the right information to the affected parties. There are certain things which should be included in the notice.

Include details of the deceased person. This includes their full name and any nickname they may have been popularly known by. If the person was a married woman, include their maiden name. You can also include their place of employment and place of residence. Also post a picture of the deceased.

Name any close surviving family members of the deceased. This normally includes nuclear family members and some members of the extended family. This is essential as someone reading the notice may be familiar with one of the named family members of the deceased.

Include the date of birth and the date of death. Provide a brief explanation for cause of death. Mention any burial arrangements that have been made so far. If arrangements have not been finalized, state that you will issue another notice with details about the memorial service.

Let people know if they can give contributions or make donations. The donations can be directed at family members or a specified charity. Always try and issue a written notice rather than try to dictate the details to someone else over the phone to compile the notice. Keep the notice succinct and to the point.

Funeral announcements can be written in either a formal or informal tone. You can have the notice published in the obituary section of your local newspaper. Alternatively, you can write a simple notice and send it to friends and family members through email. You can also have it broadcast on radio.
