The table below summarizes key facts about RIP.ie death notices in Dublin.

How much is a death notice on RIP.ie Dublin?

Standard cost for a death notice

• €100 plus VAT introduced in January 2025 (RTÉ News).
• No plans to increase, operators confirmed in February 2026 (RTÉ News).

Additional fees for photos or extended text

The base fee covers a standard notice. Any extras such as photographs or longer tributes may incur extra charges, though RIP.ie has not published a detailed price list. Families should confirm with the funeral director before submission.

How to pay for a notice

• Payment made online via credit/debit card or PayPal.
• Funeral directors often handle placement on behalf of families.

The implication: if you’re comparing costs between RIP.ie and a local newspaper, factor in this fee. It’s still lower than many print classifieds, but it’s no longer free.

How to find if someone recently passed away?

Using the RIP.ie homepage

1. Go to the RIP.ie homepage – it displays the most recent death notices nationwide (RIP.ie).
2. Filter by county (e.g., Dublin) and sort by date.

Filtering by date

Once on the Dublin page, use the “Date” filter to choose “Last 7 days” or a custom range. The Dublin death notice page updates in real time (Dublin death notice page).

Checking the ‘Recent Deaths’ page

3. The “Recent Death Notices” section at the top of the county page lists the latest entries.
4. Refresh the page later in the day for newly added notices.

How do I find an old death notice on RIP?

Using the search bar

• Enter the deceased’s name, town, or county.
• Use exact spelling for best results.

Narrowing by date range

RIP.ie’s advanced search (advanced search page) lets you set a “From” and “To” date. This is essential for notices older than the current week.

Searching by name or location

• Combine name and location to narrow results.
• Old death notices remain accessible indefinitely unless removed by the family.

For a Dublin-specific query, include the area (e.g., “Dublin 5”) or townland.

The implication: treat the archive as temporary; save any information you might need.

How to find local death notices?

Using the Dublin county page

• Bookmark rip.ie/death-notice/s/dublin for all Dublin deaths.
• You can further filter by district using keywords like “Malahide” or “Portmarnock”.

Searching by neighbourhood

Type the area name in the search bar while on the Dublin page. For example, “Malahide death notices” returns notices mentioning that locality.

Following local RIP.ie Facebook pages

• Community pages like “RIP.ie Dublin” often share area-specific notices.
• These can supplement the official site, especially for rural neighbourhoods.

RTÉ News reported that the site’s operators invested in customer care after the fee introduction. Local filters are part of that investment (RTÉ News).

How to view today’s death notices in Dublin?

Visiting the Dublin death notices page

• The Dublin page automatically shows today’s entries at the top.
• Sort by “Newest first” to confirm.

Sorting by ‘Newest first’

Use the sort dropdown on the county page. The default is “Newest first”, so you usually don’t need to change it.

Using the ‘Today’ filter if available

• No explicit “today” filter exists, but the “Last 7 days” option combined with sorting gives the same result.
• Related searches like “Today Death Notices Dublin” link directly to the current list.

The catch: without a dedicated filter, you rely on the default sort order – but that is generally sufficient for a quick check.

How to search death notices for the last 7 days?

Using the advanced search feature

• RIP.ie’s advanced search includes a “Last 7 Days” option under the date filter (RIP.ie advanced search).
• You can also manually enter dates in the “From” and “To” fields.

Setting a date range from today minus 7

This is the most precise method. Enter the date from seven days ago as the start and today as the end.

Combining with location filters

• Select “Dublin” in the county filter before applying the date range.
• This narrows results to exactly seven days of Dublin deaths.

The result: a focused list you can trust for recent Dublin notices.

“We have no plans to increase those charges.”

– RIP.ie operators, quoted in RTÉ News (Irish state broadcaster), February 2026

“We understood visitors to RIP.ie would never be charged. The costs rest with the person placing the notice, not the person reading it.”

– Irish Association of Funeral Directors, via RTÉ News

For Dublin families arranging a funeral, the key choice is clear: use RIP.ie for widest reach at €100+VAT, or rely on free alternatives like local parish websites or the Irish Times death notice page. The trade-off is reach versus cost. RIP.ie remains Ireland’s most visited death notice platform, but understanding its fees and search features ensures you get the information you need without unnecessary expense.
