Plymouth funeral notices and tributes to 26 lost loved ones

A wave of tributes have been left for people from Plymouth or those with links to the city who have died recently. The heartfelt messages appeared in the funeral notices section of PlymouthLive's sister title, The Herald.

The messages, placed between October 19 and October 25, provide comfort to the loved ones of those either lost or being celebrated. There were also two in memoriams, and two birthday memoriams.

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 in our newspaper and on our news site also appears on funeral-notices.co.uk - the UK’s number one site for death notices and in memoriams.

Every notice remains online forever providing friends and families with a lifelong tribute to their loved one, 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. To read the latest announcements and add tributes to those from our area who have passed away, click here.
