Tips for Writing a Death Notice
The following information is customarily included in a death notice:
• Full name of the deceased (nickname could be included)
• City or town of residence.
• List of immediate family members
of the deceased, specifying if they are alive or dead, through the terms “deceased was pre-deceased by his sister...” or “is survived by his wife”.
• Locations and times for services.
• Any memorable way of honoring the
deceased, as by mentioning personal achievements, hobbies and interests, military service.
Transporting the Deceased to Another Country for Burial
We have extensive experience shipping caskets to other countries for burial. If you require international transportation, please advise us as soon as the death has occurred so we can begin making arrangements with the appropriate authorities. Please be advised that complying with the requirements of other
jurisdictions takes time - a minimum of one week, often longer.
Acknowledging Kindness
In the month after a funeral, it is customary to send thank you notes to friends and family who have served as pallbearers, made memorial donations, or sent cards, food or other condolence gifts.
You can order acknowledgment cards through your funeral director. Short personal notes can be written on the acknowledgment cards.
People tell us they sometimes find it hard to come up with the appropriate words for these thank you notes. Just a few lines are all that is needed to show that you and the family appreciate the kindness that has been shown you.
What is Grief?
“Grief is reaching out for someone who’s always been there, only to find when you need them the most, one last time, they’re gone.”
