3. What information do I need to place a notice?
You will need the Funeral Director contact details or coroners case number
As part of our policy, we need to confirm someone's passing prior to publication. If you're unable to provide formal confirmation of death, the process we follow is to place your notice on hold for up to 5 business days, allowing time for such confirmation to be received from parties such as Funeral Directors.
4. What happens if I don't have the funeral home details? Can I send them later?
If you obtain details that allow us to confirm passing you can email them to helpdesk@news.com.au, ensuring you put the booking reference number and name of the deceased in the email. If we do not receive the necessary information within this time, a refund will be available, and we will contact you to discuss further options. You are unable to edit the notice while it is on hold. To provide the Funeral/Cremation home details please email as per above.
5. What happens if someone dies overseas?
If the deceased has passed away or is being buried overseas and not under the care of an Australian Funeral Director, for immediate family members (parent, spouse, sibling, or child), our customer support team will personally review and release the notice to publish. We kindly request that the non-immediate family provide us with confirmation of death, such as an overseas publication notice.
6. How long does a notice remain online?
All death, funeral or tribute/condolence notices remain online indefinitely unless and end date is requested.
