Lasting Tribute is dedicated to celebrating the lives of those
no longer with us by allowing you to pay tribute to family, friends and people in
the public eye.
As part of the Daily Mail and General Trust Group plc ( DMGT), we are the trusted guardians of the largest and fastest
growing online archive of tributes in the UK.
The site contains more than one million searchable bereavement and in memoriam notices
previously published in our Northcliffe Media Group's newspapers. More than 3,500
new tributes are being added every week.
The site also contains more than 8,000 featured tributes to people in the public eye —
nationally and locally — who have died since 1950. This searchable database includes
British soldiers who have died in recent military conflicts.
The site is run by Associated Northcliffe Digital, a sister company of Northcliffe Media Ltd.
Both companies are part of the Daily Mail and General Trust plc which publishes the Daily Mail,
Mail on Sunday, Metro and numerous other regional newspapers. Lasting Tribute is managed by our team based in Derby, England.
In recent years, whenever anyone has paid to have a bereavement or in memoriam
notice published in one of Northcliffe Media’s newspapers the price has also
automatically covered inclusion on one of its websites. All of these notices
now appear on Lasting Tribute.
- On featured tributes, the date displayed is always the date when that person died.
- For notices taken from our sister newspapers, the date when someone died is included
if it appears in the notice. If the date is not given we publish the date when that
notice was published in a newspaper.
- For in memoriams — notices from our newspapers which remember loved ones some time
after their death — the date shown is always when it was published in a newspaper.
- On full tributes the year of death is shown where this has been provided.
These are tributes to people in the public eye such as celebrities, sportspeople and soldiers — who have died
since 1950. The site currently contains around 8,000 featured tributes and this is increasing daily.
Although the content on our site is protected by copyright and should not be republished
without our permission, we have created a
special 'widgets' page where you
can find the HTML code to add the latest celebrity tributes across a range of categories to your
website or blog. These widgets update automatically once placed on your site, meaning your visitors
will benefit from direct access to the latest tributes in your selected category(s).
You can also use our RSS

generate content for your blog, either as a sidebar item or to create new posts whenever we add a
new featured tribute.
