Everything a family needs to gather people around a notice.

A notice is not just an announcement — it is how relatives abroad find out, how friends say something, and how everyone knows where to be. Here is what comes with one, and the answers to what families ask us most.

What to write in a death notice

Live streaming

Attach a YouTube, Facebook or Zoom broadcast to the notice. Relatives abroad see a countdown, then join on a page of its own — publicly, by link, or behind a password.

How streaming works →

Follow alerts

Follow a notice to hear on your phone when a funeral time or venue changes — or follow your home town to know when someone from there has died.

How following works →

Tributes and condolences

Friends leave a memory from anywhere, with or without an account. Nothing appears until the family has read it and approved it.

How tributes appear →

Funeral arrangements

Viewing, service, procession and interment — each with its venue, map and time, and each one you can keep private if the family would rather not publish it.

Adding events later →

Artwork and QR handouts

Make a card for WhatsApp or the funeral house, with a QR code. Anyone at the wake can scan it and reach the notice, the arrangements and the stream.

One request, five funeral homes

Say once where you are and what you need. Up to five funeral homes you choose can ring you or send a quotation to compare.

How requests work →

Verified notices

Every notice is checked against proof of death and the identity of whoever posted it, so what you read is what the family actually said.
