Many missed the opportunity to say goodbye to their loved ones at funerals amid the Covid pandemic.
The Recorder wants to help our readers pay tribute to their memories by publishing obituaries in the paper, celebrating their lives and achievements.
Your loved one does not necessarily need to be well-known or a celebrity; we believe everyone in our community has a story worth telling.
Here are some examples of obituaries which have already been published in the Recorder:
- 'Passionate, sometimes unconventional': Tributes paid to much-loved teacher
- The teacher who taught Elm Park to dance: Tributes paid to 'Miss Sheila'
- ‘Sunny by name, sunny by nature’: Tributes paid to popular Romford man Sunday Oduyemi
- ‘Above and beyond’: Tributes paid to former councillor and constituency caseworker
