The announcement of a loved one’s passing through local news remains a time-honoured tradition that we are honoured to uphold. Each funeral notice published in our newspaper and on our website is simultaneously featured on funeral-notices.co.uk, the UK’s leading platform for death notices and memorials. These notices remain accessible online indefinitely, offering families and friends a lasting tribute where memories can be shared, tributes and photographs added, and donations in memory can be made.
Every week, we take a moment to remember those from our community who have passed, sharing their funeral notices and links to online tribute pages. To view the latest announcements, pay respects, or to submit a funeral notice, please visit the appropriate services or contact our dedicated team by phone.
