Kandj that is a really nice idea especially for village life wish we had thought of that a few years ago when OH's sister passed away in her village . As you say how much do the elaborate ones cost? I must admit thought there were far fewer notices in the paper when I last looked. |

OH's aunt died earlier this year and her local paper has an online announcement section where you can put the details of the death/funeral arrangements etc. |

Andysmum the notice was also put in the Washington paper and it had the same sort of thing with a guest book which you can actually get printed off as a book alas I haven't a clue about what the Scottish papers do so we have given up and phoned friends and relations instead. Just thinking this could be quite upsetting for the grieved relations who live there we have over the years had many notices in both papers as we all come from Edin. but never at such extortionate prices :-( |

I can tell you it would be so expensive as it was the Scotsman! The Evening News is cheaper and always has been. It's a total rip-off tbh, as they're both printed and owned by the same company. Disgraceful! The Scotsman is the rich mans publication and the EN is the poor mans. As simple as that, and as an Edinburgh lass I'm ashamed to admit it. Sorry for your loss x |

Leith Lassie Thank you.... I knew myself that the Scotsman would be dearer (a bit!) and as an Edinburgh Lassie myself should know the Evening Post would be the one to put it in but ... as I wanted other parts of Scot. to know went to the S/man however a phone call has done the trick as one friend has passed on the sad news to another friend etc ... Guess what won't be using the Scotsman ever again Massive Rip Off |
