Best Tips For Creating Funeral Service Announcements

Writing funeral announcements can be a challenge for most people as it is required at a time of intense grief. However, it is necessary to write a death notice so as to inform others of the passing away of your loved one. For the announcement to be useful to other people, you need to include some essential information.

Provide a photo of the deceased person. This will help people to easily identify him. Then provide other identification details. This includes their name, nickname, if applicable, and any official titles they held. If the deceased was a married woman, remember to include her maiden name too. State where the person worked and where they lived.

List the deceased's close family members. This includes the name of their spouse, children or great grandchildren, if any. If they were married before and later divorced, you can include names of their former spouses. Include the names of the parents if the deceased had no spouse or children.

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.

Decide what tone to use. You can provide an official or unofficial notice. If the notice will be placed in the newspaper, try and be official. If you are planning to email the notice to close family and friends, then an unofficial tone is permissible. Funeral announcements can also be made over electronic media such as TV and radio stations.
