Where to search for the latest Daily Post obituaries?

Online aggregator platforms

  • The top search results for “Daily Post obituaries” are funeral-notices.co.uk (North Wales) and legacy.com (Rotorua) (Funeral Notices UK; Legacy.com).
  • Both platforms offer free access without a paywall.

Official Daily Post obituary page

  • The Daily Post’s own guide at dailypost.co.uk directs readers to funeral-notices.co.uk for obituary searches.
  • No dedicated “death notices” section exists on the Daily Post site itself — the aggregator is the official channel.

The pattern: the Daily Post outsources its death notice listings to established aggregators, making the experience consistent across print and online.

What death notice aggregators cover the Daily Post?

funeral-notices.co.uk

  • Primary aggregator for the North Wales Daily Post. Lists death notices, obituaries, in memoriams, and family announcements (Funeral Notices UK).
  • Also covers local editions such as the Rhyl Journal and Flintshire Leader.

rip.ie

  • Mainly covers Irish death notices, but includes some announcements from Welsh publications due to cross-border sharing. The extent of Daily Post coverage on rip.ie is limited.

legacy.com

  • Houses Rotorua Daily Post obituaries under a dedicated New Zealand section (Legacy.com).
  • Also hosts obituaries for The Post (NZ) separately (Legacy.com).

The trade-off: North Wales readers get a broader, more localised aggregator; Rotorua readers benefit from legacy.com’s nationwide NZ obituary database.

How to access Rotorua Daily Post death notices from the last 7 days?

Using legacy.com filters

  • On legacy.com’s Rotorua obituary page, use the “Date” filter to select “Last 7 days” (Legacy.com).
  • You can also sort by “Newest” to see the latest notices.

Facebook pages (if applicable)

  • Some local community Facebook groups share Rotorua death notices, but these are unofficial and may not be comprehensive.
  • NZ Herald also aggregates Rotorua notices, making their death notice page a reliable seven-day source (NZ Herald).
Why this matters

Rotorua residents often miss notices because they rely on printed editions. Using legacy.com’s date filter reduces that risk — especially for those who need obituaries for genealogical research or funeral planning.

Using these filters reduces the risk of missing a notice.

Are Daily Post death notices free to view?

Cost of viewing notices on aggregators

  • funeral-notices.co.uk and legacy.com both offer free access to all death notices and obituaries (Funeral Notices UK; Legacy.com).
  • No paywall has been observed on either platform. Creating a memorial on legacy.com may require registration but remains free.

  • NZ Herald may require registration for some features, but reading death notices remains free.

What this means: you can view today’s notices at zero cost — no credit card needed, just a browser.
