Sharing the news of a loved one’s passing through local media is a valued tradition, and we are honoured to be entrusted with such meaningful announcements. Every funeral notice published in our newspaper and on our website is also featured 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 permanent space to remember, share memories, contribute tributes and photographs, and make donations in honor of their loved ones.
Each week, we pay tribute to members of our community who have passed away by featuring their funeral notices and providing dedicated online tribute pages. To view the latest announcements or to post your own, please visit funeral-notices.co.uk, or contact our helpful team at 01482 908084 to create a notice on your behalf.
