How to Announce the Death of a Loved One on Social Media

Many people take to social media to announce that a loved one passed away. But before you do that, here are some of the things that you should know about the proper way to announce the death of a loved one:

1.Share a photo of the deceased
Together with your message, share a photo of the deceased. If there is already an obituary, you can share that as well instead as it already contains information about the death. Some people also edit the photos to include the birth and death years of the deceased. 

Look for Funeral Homes Penticton first. Coordinate with funeral homes in Penticton such as Everden Rust to ensure that you pick a date for the funeral service and burial and include these details in the social media announcement.

2.Wait for the right time
You don’t want to make the announcement right away. It’s better to break the news to the people closest to the deceased personally or through a call rather than have them read about it on social media. You can wait for a day or two. That will also give you more time to collect your thoughts and process your emotions.

 

3.Use traditional phrases to soften the blow
Use phrases like “with great sadness” or “with deepest sorrow”. That will help people anticipate what you are going to say, so it’s not as shocking to them. Although there is no easy way to soften the blow, these phrases can help even for a little.
