Alternatively, to writing a funeral announcement, you can use afuneralnotice.com, for only £19.99. A Funeral Notice makes it easy for you to share funeral day details amongst family and friends by an elegant SMS text message. This means the details can be sent instantly, direct to the people you choose. Whereas, with a traditional funeral announcement, there is no guarantee that all well-wishers will be accurately informed.
