ABC's Of A Funeral Notice Template

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.

Key facts are always included in the announcement. These are the individual's full name including maiden and commonly used nicknames by which the individual was known. Other details such as their city of residence, date of death, family members surviving them and the time and location of services are also mentioned in the article.

If the family chooses, additional details about the cause of death may be included as well. Listing the deceased's place of birth, schools attended, employment, religious affiliation, civic organizations, military service, special interests and hobbies help others to identify with the individual. Some even opt to acknowledge the pallbearers and officiant.

When the family wishes to have private services, it should be stated in the announcement. The same is true for those requesting that donations be made to a specific charity rather than having flowers sent. Funeral notices can simultaneously pay homage to the deceased and inform the masses of the loss.
