Once a week we share tributes from family and friends for lost loved ones who have died across Lincolnshire. Each notice will remain online forever, providing a place for people to look back on and remember.

Announcing the death of a loved one in local news media is a long-standing tradition, with every notice published to our newspaper and news site also appearing on funeral-notices.co.uk - the UK’s No 1 site for death notices.

Here are the notices published in the Lincolnshire Echo - from Saturday, January 4, until Friday, January 10, 2025. Our thoughts are with friends and family affected.
