Here are some activities you can take up to help combat loneliness:

Most of us recognise a funeral notice as being an obituary or an intimation that is published in a local newspaper. At Funeral Notices we have been publishing these types of notices for over 100 years. Over the last few years we have seen an increase in the number of online notices we publish. These notices do not go into a newspaper, rather they appear online at funeral-notices.co.uk. Every newspaper notice also appears on our website - meaning they benefit from our online audience as well as those who read the newspaper. As online notices are comparatively new, we thought we would take a moment to talk about the benefits to grieving families of a notice on Funeral Notices.

Most bereaved people like their messages to be personal yet simple, without being trite. At the same time, they are concerned that they should display some originality and should relate especially to the departed loved one.

Giving donations to charities or local groups in lieu of flowers at funerals has become an increasingly common trend in the UK. Industry estimates calculate that the total raised through In Memoriam donations managed by funeral directors is circa £100 million per year and growing.

By clicking 'Notify Me' on a chosen notice, we will send an email to your registered account when this notice has been either amended (updated/change of funeral arrangements) or if any content is added to that notice. This could be a tribute, candle, photo or video. This means you will never miss a tribute on an important notice.
