The tradition of announcing the passing of loved ones in local news media remains a vital way for communities to share grief and celebrate lives. We are honoured by the trust placed in us to publish these heartfelt 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, providing families and friends with a lasting tribute and a safe space to share memories, tributes, photographs, and donations in remembrance.
Every week, we pay homage to those who have departed from our community through funeral notices and dedicated online tribute pages. Below is a selection of recent memorials from Gloucestershire:
- Sue (née Chitty), born 11 January 1945, passed away 7 January 2026. Beloved wife, mum, and cherished grandmother, Sue was a bright light in all who knew her. A celebration of her life will be held at Cheltenham Crematorium Oak Chapel on 29 January. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Vale Wildlife Hospital.

Others remembered include a former BP tanker driver, an esteemed local mayor, and many loving parents, grandparents, and friends whose lives touched communities across Gloucestershire.
