Ever wonder what’s the purpose of the ‘Deceased Information Notice’ is about? Most of us do not notice there is such a yellow piece of ‘Notice’ pasted somewhere near the coffin area during the wake. This yellow ‘Notice’ contains the deceased information which is mostly for friends and relatives to take note.
