People often choose to place a notice in their local newspaper to inform the community of the death and funeral service details.

Notices generally convey the person’s full name, life dates or age, partner and family member names, place and time of service, funeral directors conducting the service, services wishes/instructions e.g. no flowers, private burial etc, or details and special message from the family.

Again, people are encouraged to create the announcement in their own personal way… special wish, the funny saying of the person etc

There are also new services besides a newspaper announcement. Please view the Sydney Morning Herald online for notices (www.smh.com.au) or Obits (www.obits.com.au)
