Month's Mind - Guidelines & Template

Month’s Mind

A notice to announce a Mass or gathering to be held approximately one month after the funeral, in memory of the deceased. Often includes a short verse and personal sentiment.

We provide a template, as well as a selection of popular verses, to guide you. You can also add up to three photos, to make the announcement all the more personal.

Here is an example of how a family notice, in this case a Month’s Mind notice, looks on RIP.ie

As well as showing in the Family Notices section, a link to the Month's Mind notice can also be displayed on the death notice for up to 5 weeks (shown below), so that people viewing the death notice can immediately see when and where this will take place - a great help for those who may have missed the funeral and want to attend the Month’s Mind, so it’s a good idea to publish the Month’s Mind notice as soon after publishing the death notice as possible, when viewing of the death notice is highest.

Below is a sample text for a Month’s Mind notice which you can edit as appropriate.
Remove any brackets and replace with information relevant to your own situation.

The Month's Mind Mass for (Name) will take place on (date) at (time) in (venue). All Welcome.

Insert a short verse here (see selection of popular verses on RIP.ie)

Much loved and sadly missed every day by your family, (list the family members).
