Sharing the news of a loved one’s passing through local announcements is a long-standing and meaningful tradition. We are honoured to be entrusted with these important announcements, helping families and communities remember and celebrate those who have passed.
Each death notice published in our newspaper and on our website is promptly posted on funeral-notices.co.uk, the UK’s leading platform for death notices and memorial tributes. These tributes remain online indefinitely, providing a lasting place for family and friends to share memories, photos, messages, and charitable donations in honour of their loved one.
Weekly, we pay tribute to those remembered in the Gloucestershire area by featuring funeral notices and accompanying online tribute pages.
