Facts You Should Know 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.

Announcements are usually made through the newspaper but they may also be done through emails and physical invitations. There are two general templates to follow. They either state the basics like who, when and where or they provide a personalized biographical history occasionally partnered with a photograph.

Certain key bits of information should always be included in this announcement. This is usually the complete name of the deceased, including any common nicknames, as well as the maiden name if the deceased was a married female. Their place of residence, surviving family members, date of passing and all details of the services are also among the basic facts to be listed.

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 the services are to be a private family affair, this should be mentioned in the article. In circumstances where donations for charity are preferred instead of flowers, details need to be part of the announcement. Funeral notices are both a way to share information about the memorial services and to show final respects to the dearly departed.
