Each week families in and around Cambridge place notices to inform the wider community of bereavements, funeral arrangements and how they wish loved ones to be remembered. Local notices provide practical details for mourners and create a permanent online record where friends can leave messages, photographs and donations.
Notices published this week
Cambridge News has published a selection of recent announcements covering residents from the city and neighbouring villages. The notices appear both in the newspaper and on the national funeral-notices.co.uk site, where they remain accessible indefinitely.
- Anthony (Tony) Alexander of Cambourne, died peacefully at home aged 66. Funeral will be at Cambourne Cemetery (graveside) on Thursday 30 July at 2pm. Flowers via Weyman Funeral Service, Abbey Walk, Cambridge CB1 2QJ.
- Ronald Giles Charlton of Great Shelford, aged 96. Memorial service at St Mary’s Church, Great Shelford on Tuesday 28 July at 12.30pm following a private family cremation. Donations requested for Arthur Rank Hospice Charity.
- Brian Clutterbuck, who passed on 6 July aged 84. Survived by his wife Barbara and three sons; further details were provided in the notice.
How notices work and how to add one
Funeral notices in the paper serve several purposes: they inform neighbours and former colleagues about services; they provide detail about charitable donations in lieu of flowers; and they create an online memorial page where the bereaved can receive ongoing messages. The notices published by Cambridge News are simultaneously uploaded to funeral-notices.co.uk, which the publisher describes as the UK’s leading site for such announcements.

"Our thoughts are with those who have lost loved ones"
Readers who wish to place a notice or add a tribute may do so online via the newspaper’s site, or by calling the customer services number listed in the announcements. The publication emphasises that notices remain online permanently, offering a lasting place to share memories and donations.
For families and friends in Cambridge, these notices are a practical local resource: they guide attendance at services, publicise charity requests and give the bereaved an accessible way to receive community support. They also form part of the public record of life in the city and its neighbouring communities.
