\n

Photo of the Deceased<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
A photograph can add a personal touch and help recipients connect emotionally. Choose a picture that reflects how the deceased would like to be remembered, ideally one that captures their essence and personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Date and Time<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Clearly state the date and time of the funeral service. This information is crucial as it allows people to make the necessary arrangements to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venue<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Include the full address of the funeral service venue. If the venue might be unfamiliar to many, consider adding directions or a map. This ensures that everyone can find the location without added stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Type of Service<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Mention the type of service that will be held (e.g., burial, cremation, memorial service). This helps attendees understand what to expect and can assist them in preparing emotionally and logistically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personal Messages or Quotes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
A heartfelt message or a meaningful quote can convey the feelings of the family and offer comfort to those grieving. Choose words that reflect the personality and values of the deceased, or that offer solace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dress Code<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
If there is a specific dress code for the service, mention it in the announcement. Whether it\u2019s formal attire, a particular colour, or something more relaxed, informing attendees helps them feel prepared and respectful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donation Requests<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
If the family prefers donations to a charity in lieu of flowers, include this information. Specify the charity\u2019s name and provide details on how donations can be made. This can be a meaningful way to honour the deceased’s legacy and passions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
