A wave of tributes has been left for people from Plymouth or those with links to the city who have died recently. These heartfelt messages appeared in the funeral notices section of PlymouthLive's sister title, The Herald. A total of 20 funeral notices were left for individuals who either lived in the city or had connections to it and have recently passed away. The messages, published between March 29 and April 4, 2025, aim to provide comfort to the loved ones of those either lost or being celebrated. There was also one memoriam.

Announcing the passing of a loved one in local news media is a long-standing tradition. PlymouthLive is proud of the trust placed in them to make these important announcements. Every notice published in the newspaper and on the news site also appears on funeral-notices.co.uk, the UK's number one site for death notices and in memoriam listings. Each notice remains online forever, offering friends and families a place to share memories, add tributes, photographs, and make donations in memory.

Each week, PlymouthLive pays tribute to the loved ones remembered in the area with a funeral notice and an online tribute page. Here are some of the most recent notices published:
