Birmingham funeral notices include a 100-year-old woman and a ‘wanted’ great-grandfather.

Announcing the passing of a loved one in the local 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 news website also appears on funeral-notices.co.uk – the UK’s number one website for death notices and obituaries.

Each notice stays online forever, giving friends and families a lifetime tribute to their loved one, a safe online place to share memories, add tributes, photos and make memorial donations.

Each week we pay tribute to loved ones remembered in our area with a funeral notice and online tribute page. To read the latest announcements and add tributes to those in our area who have passed away, or to create your own obituary, click here .
