What is a death notice?

An official government report of a death
A public announcement of a death with funeral details
A personal letter to friends about a death
A detailed obituary in a newspaper

The correct answer is: A public announcement of a death with funeral details

A death notice is essentially a public announcement that provides information about a person's death along with details regarding the funeral arrangements. This typically includes the date, time, and location of the services, and may also specify any other relevant information such as visitation hours or memorial contributions. The primary purpose of a death notice is to inform a wider audience, including acquaintances, friends, and community members, about the death and the specifics of the funeral, enabling them to pay their respects. While other choices present related concepts—such as an official report of death, a personal letter, or a more detailed obituary—none fulfill the specific role of a death notice, which is primarily a brief, straightforward announcement aimed at the public. The function of a death notice distinguishes it from a personal letter, which is intended for a limited audience, or an obituary, which tends to provide a more comprehensive narrative of the deceased’s life and accomplishments.
