Tips For Writing Funeral Service Announcements

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.

You can provide details on when and where the deceased was born and when and how they died. You do not have to go into details. Include details of where and when the memorial service will be held. Specify if only close family members are allowed to attend the memorial service or other people can also attend the event.

Inform people on whether charitable contributions can be made. You can also request for donations to be sent to your favorite charity organization. It is advisable that you write down the notice, rather than try to give out information over the phone. Also, avoid lengthy notices as space is often limited and some words may have to be cut out.

You can go for a formal or informal tone when writing your notice. This depends on the circumstances and personality of the deceased. For funeral announcements that are published in newspapers, a formal tine would be more appropriate. If you are sending out the notices through email, an informal tone can work just as well.
