Plymouth funeral notices and tributes to 22 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 26 and November 1, provide comfort to the loved ones of those either lost or being celebrated. There were also two in memoriams.

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.
