Welcome to 2025.
To kick off the year, we want to take a quick look back at 2024 and some things we look forward to this year.
2024 was a big year for us at Funeral Notices. We launched a new website with a new colour scheme and improved navigation.
We showcased the improved site at the National Funeral Exhibition in June. Our Reach colleagues joined us to chat about our industry, marketing, and funeral notices with many of you.
Our audience for notices and funeral-related content remained strong, while the amount collected for charity surpassed all expectations. In 2024, people generously donated more than £1.8 million to charities and good causes through donations made on Funeral Notices - up from the previous record of £1.5 million. That's incredible, bringing the total raised to £7.3 million.
People's generosity is staggering, especially given the current economic climate. Seeing money transferred to charities following the closure of an in-memory collection always makes us smile - it is our favourite part of the site and adds so much to the legacy of lost loved ones. Thank you for your work explaining online donations to families.
January is well underway, and we know you're busy because we're busy too. This year, we promise to deliver more of the same, supporting you in giving families the everlasting tribute their loved ones deserve. Digital notices will be our main priority as they grow in popularity. The value of a digital notice in these difficult times has never been more important.

We look forward to continuing to work with you in 2025.
