What is a Funeral Notice?

A funeral notice is a formal announcement of a person’s passing, providing details about their funeral or memorial service. It typically includes the deceased’s name, date of passing, and information about the service, such as the date, time, and location. Funeral notices may also include a short tribute, details about donations in lieu of flowers, or special requests from the family. These notices serve as an invitation for friends, family, and the community to come together to honour and remember the life of the departed. They are commonly published in newspapers, online memorial sites, and social media to reach a wider audience.

Online Funeral Notices

In today's digital age, online funeral notices have become increasingly common, replacing or complementing traditional newspaper announcements. Families now use funeral home's social media, because online notices offer a more accessible and cost-effective way to reach a wider audience. Many digital notices also provide interactive features, such Live Streaming Links and Donation Links. The Staff at Tony Hollands Funerals will require a photo of your loved one and will produce this for you.

Funeral Notices in the Newspaper

A funeral notice in a printed newspaper is a traditional way of announcing a person’s passing and providing details about their funeral or memorial service. Typically placed in the obituary section, these notices include the deceased’s name, date of passing, and information about the service, such as the date, time, and location. Families may also include a brief tribute, special requests, or details about donations in lieu of flowers. Printed funeral notices are a formal and respectful way to inform the community, especially for those who may not use digital platforms. They serve as a lasting record of a loved one’s passing and are often kept as a memento by family and friends. The staff at Tony Hollands Funerals will draft the wording of the notice with you and will submit the details, including the desired print date with the Newspaper of your choosing.
