Announcing the passing of a loved one through local news media has long been a cherished tradition. We are honoured by the trust placed in us to share these significant announcements with the community. Each funeral notice published in our newspaper and on our website also appears on funeral-notices.co.uk—the UK’s leading platform for death notices and memorials. These notices remain online indefinitely, providing families and friends a permanent space to share memories, post tributes, upload photographs, and make donations in honour of their loved ones.
Every week, we pay tribute to members of our community who have passed away, offering funeral notices alongside dedicated online tribute pages. To view the latest announcements and add your own tributes for those from our area, or to create a funeral notice, please contact our supportive team by phone at 01482 908084.
