death announcement

News of demise

A death announcement is a formal notice informing others that someone has died.

It typically appears in newspapers, on funeral home websites, or through official channels, providing the deceased's name, dates, and often funeral arrangements.

Unlike an obituary, which recounts a life story, a death announcement simply states the fact of death: The family issued a death announcement but will hold a private service.
