Overview
- UK local titles released their latest compilations between January 16 and 18, including Bournemouth Echo (22 notices), Daily Echo Southampton (19), Ipswich Star (15), Norwich Evening News (11), Lancashire Telegraph (13), Watford Observer (4) and The Bolton News (3).
- The notices are family-submitted and typically list names, ages, dates and places of death, surviving relatives and brief circumstances such as “passed away peacefully,” “suddenly” or “after a short illness.”
- Many entries provide practical details for mourners, including service dates, venues and donation or funeral director contacts, such as the January 19 Requiem Eucharist for Reverend Canon Stephen Scott Huxley in Lingfield with donations via Alex Jones Funeral Directors.
- Publishers stress that tribute pages remain online indefinitely and invite readers to leave messages of condolence on each individual notice.
- Outlets note digital partnerships and hosting, with Surrey Live linking to funeral-notices.co.uk and The Bolton News crediting notices produced through a subscriber partnership with USA Today.
