How to place a notice

We are proud to receive more than 1 million visitors each month who interact and leave over 15,000 photos, tributes and candles on our notices. That's why people turn to funeral-notices.co.uk, making us their first choice.

First of all, you need to be registered on the site in order to place a notice with us. Please log in or register, then click 'Place a notice' in the top right of the screen on desktop and tablet or the top left of your screen if you are on a mobile device. Or click here: Place a Notice

Next, choose your classification. If you hover over the classifications you will see an explanation of what they are, ensuring you choose the right one.

Once you have chosen a style that suits you, click “continue” and fill in the boxes with your wording. Boxes marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory and must be filled in. As you type, a preview will appear on the right hand side of the screen - this will show your notice exactly how it will appear in print, with the price above it.

If you have chosen a photo style notice, you will be able to add your photo here. Click “Upload Photo” and click ‘Select Image’, choose the file from your device and select ‘Upload Image’. On the next page you can crop / rotate the image with the appropriate buttons and once happy, click ‘Crop Image’, this will then show in the preview on the right hand of the page.

You will also see a drop down box marked “Relationship” - this refers to your relationship to the person who has passed away, and determines where your notice will appear in print. If your notice is the main notice (it includes the Funeral arrangements) please select “Funeral Arrangements/Funeral Director.

If your notice is a main notice you also have the option to use our free donation service. If you have mentioned donations in the wording of the notice, the system will automatically choose the charity mentioned and add the donation service to the notice. You will be able to check to make sure the charity is correct, and remove or add any as necessary.

You can then add your email address and postcode, and an email will be sent to you after five weeks to advise you how much was raised and sent directly to the charity.

Click “next” and you will be able to choose when your notice will appear in print and online. Once you have chosen your dates, click “next” again. On this page you can check the details are all correct (dates, publication, charity). You can also add an order for a presentation keepsake at this stage if desired.

Click “next” again and log in/register if you haven’t already, then you will be able to pay for your notice. All notices are checked by our moderating team, once they have been released you will receive an email confirmation of the notice, showing how it will appear in print, when it will appear and which publication it will appear in.
