Announcing the passing of loved ones through local news has long been a valued tradition, and we are honoured to be trusted with these important announcements. 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, offering families and friends a lasting tribute—a safe space to share memories, add tributes, upload photographs, and make donations in memory.
Each week, we pay tribute to those remembered in our community by sharing selected funeral notices and online tribute pages. Below, we present a selection of notices published this week. If you wish to view the latest announcements or add your own tribute, please visit funeral-notices.co.uk or contact our team directly at 01482 908084.
