When do you need a death notice?
A death notice is a short announcement of someone's passing and is typically used to:
- Let friends and family know someone has passed
- Share funeral or memorial details

Their name, age, and the date they passed, along with key relationships (survived by...) and funeral or memorial details if you want to share them.
Gaia's generator asks for these details and drafts a respectful notice around them, ready for newspaper, social media or email.

Newspaper versions are usually the shortest; social media and email versions can run a little longer.
