Emailing and Printing Yahrzeit Notices

RakefetOnline makes it easy to send Yahrzeit notices by email or print them for mailing. You can communicate with all mourners who have an upcoming Yahrzeit in just a few clicks.

Before you begin:
Be sure you have already created a Yahrzeit Email Template. If you have not, create one first under Setup → Templates.  

Creating a Yahrzeit Template

Step 1: Open the Yahrzeit Page

Navigate to:

Yahrzeit → Yahrzeit Notices

Step 2: Select the Date Range

Enter the From Date and To Date for the Yahrzeit notices you want to send.


Step 3: Filter Your Results (Optional)

You can narrow your list by using filters such as:

  • Families with email addresses
  • Families without email addresses
  • Specific family or mourner
  • Additional search and filter options

Use Email Only when sending emails or Without Emails Only if you plan to print notices.


Then click Run Report!

Step 4: Select Your Template

Choose your Yahrzeit template from the Select Template drop-down list.

Only Active templates are available for selection.

Step 5: Email or Print

Choose one of the following options:

Email Yahrzeit Notices

Click Send Emails.

RakefetOnline will:

  • Merge each mourner's information into your template
  • Send an individual personalized email
  • Display a green confirmation message once the emails have been queued successfully

Print Yahrzeit Notices

Click Print.

Your browser's print window will open, allowing you to:

  • Print directly to your printer
  • Save the notices as a PDF
  • Print multiple notices at once

Need to Send Later?

If you'd like your notices to go out automatically on a future date, you can schedule them instead of sending immediately.

Select Schedule instead of Send Now, choose the desired date and time, and confirm your scheduled mailing.

Tips

  • Verify your date range before sending.
  • Verify Yahrzeit / Mourner Observance is matched with selected templates.
  • Preview your template to ensure merge fields display correctly.
  • Use Email Only to avoid attempting to email contacts without an email address.
  • Use Without Emails Only to quickly generate printed notices for postal mailing.
