Our thoughts are with those who have lost a loved one
Announcing the passing of a loved one in local news media is a long-standing tradition and we are proud of the trust placed in us to make these important announcements.
Every notice published to our newspaper and news site also appears on funeral-notices.co.uk – the UK’s number one site for death notices and memoriams.
Every notice remains online forever providing friends and families with a lifelong tribute to their loved one and a safe place online to share memories, add tributes, photographs, and make donations in memory.
Each week we pay tribute to the loved ones remembered in our area with a funeral notice and online tribute page.
