In the past week, there have been 49 death notices published in the Ipswich Star and East Anglian Daily Times, including tributes to a headteacher, a married couple - and a gentleman who spent his retirement happily planting trees and writing his family history.

Each week, our publications share the death notices and funeral announcements from families of loved ones who have passed away in our county.

As well as appearing in print, our death notice pages will remain online as a lasting tribute to the memory of those we have lost.

Anyone who wishes to send their own message of condolence can do so by visiting the deceased's death notice page.

Some choose to have a full obituary to their loved one in the newspaper. If you would like a tribute to your loved one written in the newspaper, you can do so by contacting obituary writer Abygail Fossett by emailing abygail.fossett@newsquest.co.uk.
