“The website is one of Ireland’s most popular with 3.3m visitors last month.”
This is sad and kind of funny at the same time…..

Was always going to happen when the Irish Times bought it. I could build a competitor in a weekend. However RIP.ie is a cultural phenomenon in this country. Good luck challenging it.
They’ll probably link it with MyHome. Post a death and your parents house at the same time.

Did they not always charge funeral directors a fee for this?
When I paid for a funeral five years ago the bill included a fee for posting the death notice on rip.ie.

That’s the death knell for that website so
Such a R.i.p off

Use social media. It is free and will reach most of those who need to know either directly or word of mouth.

Should rename it, Mournhub.

That’s a scummy move as the funeral directors will pass it into the grieving families. A death notice is just adding a record to an existing dataset. Anything for a few extra €€€

Ah Irish Times, you shower of greedy pricks!
There will definitely be a pay wall for site visitors within the next year.

It should be nationalised and protections on its structure put in the constitution.

Its only a matter of time before they roll out a subscription fee to read the notices.

I could justify charging maybe €20… but €100? Just to have someone’s name on a website? yeah no thanks.

Who owned RIP.ie before the Irish times? Was it the funeral directors?

The problem is this fee is just going to be passed onto the poor families.
It’s not going to be the families fault, it’s not going to be the funeral directors fault…it’s the Irish Times fault.
And don’t forget that when you see the next link for the Irish times. Skip over it.

Sooooooo easy to compete with this.

RIP.ie needs to add a premium option. For just a fiver a month, you could follow your friends and enemies and get alerts when they die.

In a land where life is cheap, death (notification) sometimes has a price.
