A death notice is a paid announcement in a newspaper that gives the name of the person who died, the date of death, the details of the funeral or memorial service, place and time, where donations can be made in the deceased's name and occasionally people the family wish to acknowledge with a thank you and if there is a theme or other special requests.
Death notices can be placed in any local, national or international newspaper. We can assist you in writing this notice, and we can then lodge it in the various newspapers and on the day that you nominate on your behalf.

(Please take note that Faithfull Funeral Services do not recommend placing your address in the newspaper notice for communications to be sent to, due to the eincreased chance of someone being burgled, after publicly notifying that you are away from your home on that day at that particular time. We suggest addressing all mail to Faithfull Funeral Services, then that mail will be forwarded onto you.
