The rise of the internet and social media has led to a change in the way we announce a death. Gone are the days we had to wait for the newspaper to be available, now we can check our smartphones whenever and wherever we want. Social media is a great way to share information, and more and more people are accessing it as a source of information.
The growth of digital publishing and social media allows people not only to announce a bereavement online, but also creates a platform for people to be able to express their grief by leaving tributes, photos and lighting candles on the page of their loved ones, essentially personalising the page.
Online death notices can be shared on social media, ensuring that all friends and family members will have access to the notice. They can then add their own photos and tributes to the notice, sharing their memories of their loved ones with everyone else who knew them, keeping their memory alive.
We have tailored funeral-notices.co.uk to ensure the best possible experience for visitors and those using the website to announce funerals. All notices booked in our print publications automatically appear on our website, and more and more people are choosing to book online only notices. The site also hosts Memoriam notices, Birthday Memoriams and Acknowledgement notices, all of which can be used to the same effect - a place for friends and family to remember their loved ones.
As our tagline states, we want people to “Announce, Share and Remember Forever”, and continue to visit the tribute pages of their loved ones, allowing their digital legacy to live on forever. - Laura Clipson
