Once you've reached out to close friends and family, it's time to let the wider world know about Courtney's passing. These are people in Courtney's life you may have never met. Announcing Courtney's passing publicly may feel impersonal, but in today's digital world it is your best tool for reaching anyone who was a part of Courtney's life. However uncomfortable it may be, sharing the news with them will only increase love, support, and remembrance.

We suggest having the memorial webpage up beforehand with the obituary and funeral details. This way you can share the webpage as you make the announcement.
