What is Lasting Tribute?

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.

Who runs Lasting Tribute?

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.

Why are newspaper notices on Lasting Tribute?

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.

What dates are displayed on the site?

• 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.
