Example Death Notices for the newspaper obituary

It's nice to put everything you can think of in a paper notice for you and your friends to read, but remember it is much more important to tell the one you love how much they mean to you before they die. In this busy world that simple basic fact can be forgotten.

Poetry and Verse

"Heavenly Father hear my prayer, Guide our Father with tender care, Dear shepherd don't leave him alone, Love him in heaven, as we do at home."

To write a death notice you must remember to add five things,

1) Surname
2) Where the deceased passed away
3) Date they passed away
4) Where they lived (Suburb/Town)
5) Who they were related to
Here are some examples that may be of assistance;

SMITH (Dorothy)

Quietly passed away at home, in the loving arms of her family on 12/12/02,
the Late Mrs Dorothy Smith of Bentley, Loved Wife of Harold (dec)
much loved and loving mother of Jessie and Mick
Rest in eternal peace mum, your suffering is over.

SMITH (Dorothy)

Passed away in Hollywood hospital after a long battle with illness on the 20/11/02
the Late Miss Dorothy Smith of Bentley, beloved younger daughter of
Joan and John. Our darling girl you will be so sadly missed, forever in our hearts.

SMITH (Dorothy)

Tragically taken from us on the 22/11/02
the Late Dorothy Smith,of Bentley, beautiful and loving daughter of
