The death notice
Issuing a death notice is a common formality that publicly announces the death of a person. Because it is published in the press, it can reach a wider circle of friends and acquaintances. It is not the same thing as an announcement of death, which is sent to the family and to close friends of the deceased. This is usually sent out quickly to give details of the funeral so that people can make arrangements to attend. By contrast, notice of death can be published either before or after the funeral.
