Announcing the passing of loved ones in local news media remains a cherished tradition, and we are honoured by the trust placed in us to share these important announcements. Each obituary published in our newspaper and on our news website also appears on funeral-notices.co.uk, the UK’s leading site for death notices and memorials. Every notice remains accessible online indefinitely, providing friends and families with a lasting tribute-a secure space to share memories, add tributes and photographs, and make donations in memory.
Each week, we pay tribute to those remembered in our local area through funeral notices and online tribute pages. To view the latest announcements, add tributes to those from our community who have passed away, or to create a funeral notice yourself, you may visit funeral-notices.co.uk. Alternatively, notices can be arranged by contacting our supportive team on 01482 908084.
