For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I'm one of those boring nerds who stops to read notices in windows, on lamp-posts, on noticeboards and just about everywhere else (whether they be planning applications, licensing applications, local byelaws, appeals to find lost cats, adverts for cars for sale, offers of 'adult services' or anything else). I've never yet seen death notices published in the windows of funeral directors.
Although I don't believe in funerals, if you're going to have one it makes perfect sense to me to advertise it as widely as possible, so that people who might wish to attend can go along.
So I can't see anything wrong in putting the details in the window of a funeral director (where the announcement is far more likely to be seen than the tiny typed notices which appear in church vestibules).
