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.
Some crematoria and cemeteries also offer web-casting to live-stream ceremonies to family and friends who are unable to attend.
We are on hand to assist with any of the above or any other funeral communication channels which you may wish to consider.
