There's no overstating just how difficult the death of a loved one can be. Close family members can often feel overwhelmed, and the prospect of notifying family and friends of the funeral services and arrangements can be a source of further stress. Fortunately, there are several approaches that make the notification process smoother and easier for everyone involved. Whitley's Funeral Home, in Kannapolis, NC, shares a few of the best ways. 

How Inform Loved Ones About Funeral Arrangements

1. Call Yourself

For those close to the deceased and his or her family, it's often best to reach out to them yourself and inform them of the passing. It can be hard, but the intimacy and personal nature of the call can be beneficial to both parties. 

2. Have Others Call 

Once you begin reaching out to people beyond the deceased's closest family and friends, you can start recruiting other loved ones to help you in the notification process. Perhaps a member of the extended family or a close friend can reach out to individuals in their social circles to share the news. 

3. Share Details Quickly

Most funerals take place relatively quickly after the individual's passing. Because of this, it's smart to start letting loved ones know about the funeral services soon after arrangements have been made. This gives family and friends a chance to work it into their schedule and make sure they can be there. 

Though difficult, this process can be better navigated with help from loved ones and funeral professionals.
