A death notice is a type of listing placed in the obituaries of a newspaper. It is written by the family of the deceased and typically organised by the funeral director. The reason someone may want to write a death notice is to notify immediate and extended family members and close friends about the person’s passing.
The death notice is a formal written publication that contains very little information. It usually includes the personal details of the deceased as well as family, and funeral information to inform other people of the passing. It may include the person’s:
Name
Time of Death
Birth Date
Funeral date and location
There are a variety of factors to consider when creating a death notice including:
Who is responsible for creating it
The budget
Verifying the accuracy of the details
