FAMILY NOTICES is a
family-owned and privately maintained website for the sole purpose of providing
you with the opportunity of placing your messages on-line for free photographs
too.
Why are these notices free? Normally we have to pay for BMDs or any other
personal notice in the newspaper.
It was a personal bereavement which brought the site owners into the realms of
outrageous charges made by newspapers to publish birth, marriage and death
notices, what many years ago would be considered a free service.
A simple notice can cost anything from £25 for a few words up to several
hundreds of pounds in a National newspaper. In 2007 the prices-per-word ranged
from 59p to £2.90. Even more outrageous are additional charges for photographs,
addition to archives and the inclusion of dates in a simple form July 4th
2006 counts as THREE words in many UK papers.
Whilst the price per word may appear inconsequential a typical notice contains
55-65 words.
SO if you wish to place notices to
- Celebrate an engagement or wedding
- Share the news of a birth or anniversary
- Announce a loved one or friend passing away
this is the site to use.
Photos are free too! Place your notice and send an email to everyone who would
like to know. Also you can add to each notice, your message of congratulations
or memories.
Remember, the Internet has no borders or limits and this is a truly world-wide
facility for everyone. There are no restrictions just for person in the UK or
Ireland anyone can post a message the only condition is that it must be in
English.
