How to Announce the Death of a Love One

After the death of a loved one, one of the first things that you should do is to announce it to family, friends, and acquaintances. How or when should you announce it?

1. Make the first calls

First, call the people closest to the deceased. They are the ones that should know about the death and they deserve to hear it directly from the immediate family members rather than hear from somewhere else. Decide who to call and do it right after the death.

2. Announce it on social media

Once you have made necessary arrangements with the disposition of the remains and you have the funeral planning going on, you can choose to announce it on social media. You can post a photo of the deceased and divulge the details of the death if you wish. If there are already details on the funeral such as if there is going to be a wake, you can also include it.

3. Write for Penticton obituaries

Another way of announcing the death of a loved one is through obituaries in Penticton. Go to funeral homes such as Everden Rust who will take care of everything that you need for the funeral planning and when you are done writing the obituary, you can submit it to them.

The obituary doesn’t have to be long. You can include pertinent details such as the name of the deceased or nickname if the deceased had one, surviving family members, nature of death, and memories that you think others should also know.

A good funeral home should be able to assist you with these things to reduce the stress and the burden on the family members.
