Frequently Asked Questions
To publish a death notice, simply ask your funeral director to do so. All licensed funeral directors in Ireland have secure access to our partner site, RIP.ie, and can publish notices on behalf of the bereaved family.
If the funeral is taking place outside of Ireland, the family can contact RIP.ie directly. RIP.ie will liaise with the overseas funeral director to verify the details. Acceptable forms of verification may include:
- A copy of the death or cremation certificate
- A link to the obituary on the foreign funeral director’s website
- An email confirmation from the overseas funeral director
You can search for a death notice on TakeSolace.ie using:
- The deceased’s surname
- County or town
- A date range
The search tool on our homepage makes it easy to locate the notice you're looking for.
RIP.ie’s online archive of death notices goes back to July 2006. All notices published since then are available for public search on the site
