At funeral-notices.co.uk we aim to create a sensitive, appropriate and impartial place for all our loyal readers to browse notices, share memories of loved ones and mark special occasions with tributes. To ensure we achieve this, our moderation team will check all content which is placed online to ensure it meets these standards. During moderation our dedicated team check every tribute, candle, photo and video to ensure all content in appropriate and contains no bad language or offensive imagery before it is visible on the site. We reserve the right to amend any content you submit before it goes live on your chosen notice, such as removing bad language from within the wording. If we deem the entirety of the tribute / photo/ video inappropriate, we will decline this at the moderation stage and you will be notified by email that we have been unable to publish your request.

Once you have submitted your tribute on any notice, your tribute enters our moderation queue. Here a dedicated team will check the content and process it through, making it live on the website shortly after. Until the tribute has been successfully moderated you will be unable to see this on the intended notice. We understand how important tributes are, so we make it our aim to have these moderated as quickly as possible. For convenience and peace of mind, we will keep you informed via email and you will be notified to confirm the notice is live. Our moderating team operates between 09.00-23.00 Monday-Sunday and will aim to process your tribute within 30 minutes. Tributes left outside these hours will be checked and processed as soon as possible the following day.

By clicking 'Notify Me' on a chosen notice, we will send an email to your registered account when this notice has been either amended (updated/change of funeral arrangements) or if any content is added to that notice. This could be a tribute, candle, photo or video. This means you will never miss a tribute on an important notice.

Giving donations to charities or local groups in lieu of flowers at funerals has become an increasingly common trend in the UK. Industry estimates calculate that the total raised through In Memoriam donations managed by funeral directors is circa £100 million per year and growing.

Reach plc publishes obituary notices in over 110 regional newspapers, most of which also appear on its funeral notices website - funeral-notices.co.uk. Over 120,000 notices are published on this site per annum and it receives over a million visitors per month. Since July 2019 this has included an online donations service, allowing anyone placing a death notice to add an online collection. The service is managed by Donatis using their fundraising platform, which is fully integrated into our booking system and the funeral-notices.co.uk website.

Most bereaved people like their messages to be personal yet simple, without being trite. At the same time, they are concerned that they should display some originality and should relate especially to the departed loved one.
