death notice

Published mortality report

A death notice is a brief announcement of someone's death, typically published in a newspaper or online.

Unlike an obituary, which recounts the deceased's life, a death notice usually contains only essential information: name, date of death, and funeral arrangements.

I saw the death notice in the local paper.
