Online obituaries and funeral announcements
Your A.W. Lymn funeral director can help you prepare and issue a funeral announcement.
It should include the name of your loved one, the funeral service date, time and location, floral tributes or charitable donations in-lieu detail and your funeral director’s details.
Here is a list of our current obituaries.
Local press is a very popular way of communicating this information and in certain cases may also be supplemented by a national press entry, particularly The Telegraph, Times or Independent.
We offer the facility for online obituaries, through our Funeral Guide service, allowing friends and families to share their memories and pass on messages at the time of your loss.
Some crematoria and cemeteries also offer the option to live-stream ceremonies to family and friends who are unable to attend.
Funeral Guide obituary
A Funeral Guide online obituary allows you to commemorate your loved one with a full-page picture and biography, as well as giving friends and family easy access to practical details such as the location and time of the funeral service.
The obituary includes a book of condolence for your loved one, which later forms part of the memorial book of their life.
