RIP.ie Limerick 95FM Obituaries: Find Death Notices in Limerick

There’s never a good time to need a death notice, but knowing where to look makes a painful moment a little simpler. In Limerick, two trusted resources dominate: the national death notice registry RIP.ie and the local radio station Live 95 FM, each serving a distinct purpose.

Years RIP.ie has been operational: Since 2005 ·
Live 95 FM obituaries update frequency: Daily ·
Number of counties covered by RIP.ie: 32 ·
Limerick Leader obituaries publication history: Over 100 years

Five key facts that define how obituaries work in Limerick, one pattern: every source serves a different layer of the same system — from national registry to local broadcast to family-run funeral home.

Can you find out who has died recently?

How to use RIP.ie to see recent death notices

• Go to RIP.ie recent death notices
• The home page lists the most recent notices from across Ireland by default
• Select “Limerick” from the county dropdown to filter only Limerick notices (RIP.ie Limerick death notices page)
• Notices appear with name, age, date of death, and funeral details
• You can sort by date — most recent appears first

The pattern: the county filter is the fastest way to isolate Limerick deaths from the national feed. Once selected, the results update in real time as new notices are added throughout the day.

How to check Live 95 FM obituaries for today

• Visit the Live 95 FM obituaries page
• The page updates daily with obituaries broadcast on the station
• Each entry typically includes the person’s name, age, and a link to the full death notice on RIP.ie or the funeral home
• You can listen to the radio broadcast directly for verbal obituaries

The catch: Live 95 FM obituaries often link back to RIP.ie for full details, so the radio page works best as a discovery tool rather than a standalone archive.

How do I look up the death of someone?

Searching by name on RIP.ie

• RIP.ie offers a dedicated search bar on every page
• You search by first name, last name, or both
• Results show all matching death notices across Ireland, grouped by county
• If the name is common, narrow results by selecting “Limerick” as the county (RIP.ie Limerick death notices page)
• You can also search by funeral home name if you know which funeral director handled the arrangements

The pattern: the search bar is case-insensitive and works with partial names. Typing “O’Bri” will return O’Brien, O’Briscoe, and any other matches.

Using the search bar on Live 95 FM obituaries

• The Live 95 FM obituaries page is not a searchable database — it lists obituaries in chronological order
• You can scroll through recent entries or use your browser’s find function (Ctrl+F) to search within the page
• Names are listed alphabetically within the daily post
• For older obituaries, the browser scroll method becomes impractical

The trade-off: Live 95 FM is best for today’s and yesterday’s obituaries. For older notices, RIP.ie’s search is more reliable.

How do I find an old death notice on RIP.ie?

Using the archive feature on RIP.ie

• RIP.ie archives death notices indefinitely — notices from 2005 onward remain accessible (Wikipedia entry for RIP.ie)
• The “Recent” section shows the latest 50–100 notices
• An “Archive” or older notices section allows browsing by month and year
• Notices are stored by date of posting, not date of death

Searching by date range

• RIP.ie allows searching by specific date or month using the date filter on the search page (RIP.ie recent death notices)
• Select a date range and county to narrow results
• If the exact date is unknown, search by month and browse
• For very old notices (pre-2010), use the archive section and select the year

The pattern: searching by date range is the second-best option after name search. If you know the person died in March 2018, you can pull every Limerick notice from that month in one go.

What is the difference between a death notice and obituary?

Definition of a death notice

• A death notice is a brief announcement: name, age, date of death, residence, and funeral service details
• Typically written by the family or the funeral home
• In Ireland, RIP.ie is the primary platform for death notices (RIP.ie Limerick Facebook page)
• Death notices are factual and standardized in format

Definition of an obituary

• An obituary is a longer biographical article about the deceased’s life, career, family, and contributions
• Often written by a family member, friend, or newspaper journalist
• Published in newspapers such as the Limerick Leader or The Irish Times Notices
• Obituaries may include photographs, anecdotes, and personal reflections

Key differences in Ireland

The implication: if you need basic funeral details, a death notice on RIP.ie or Live 95 FM is sufficient. If you want a biography or historical record, you need a newspaper obituary from the Limerick Leader or The Irish Times.

Who died in Meath?

How to search for death notices by county

• On RIP.ie, use the county dropdown to select “Meath” instead of “Limerick”
• This filters all death notices to that county only (Similar page for Limerick — same structure applies to Meath)
• You can further filter by date range or search within county results

Using RIP.ie to find deaths in Meath

• RIP.ie covers all 32 counties of Ireland, including Meath (RIP.ie Limerick Facebook page confirms county coverage)
• The Meath page lists death notices by date, most recent first
• Each notice includes funeral arrangements and a condolences section

Other sources for Meath obituaries

• Local newspapers: the Limerick Leader covers Limerick, while the Meath Chronicle covers Meath
• The Irish Times Notices portal includes notices from all counties
• Safely Home offers a county-based death notice directory for Meath and other counties

The pattern: every county in Ireland has at least one local newspaper with obituary archives, and RIP.ie covers all 32 counties identically — the workflow is the same whether you are searching Limerick, Meath, or Cork.

Comparison table: Where to find obituaries in Limerick

Three main sources, one key difference: RIP.ie is national and searchable, Live 95 FM is local and timely, the Limerick Leader is historical and editorial. Here is how they stack up for the specific task of finding Limerick obituaries.

The pattern: RIP.ie gives you the most complete archive across all 32 counties. Live 95 FM is the fastest for today’s local Limerick notices. The Limerick Leader offers the richest biographical content for historical research.

Steps: How to find a death notice in Limerick from start to finish

1. Identify what you need — a recent death (last week), a specific person’s notice, or an old historical obituary?
2. Start with RIP.ie — go to RIP.ie Limerick death notices page and select the county filter
3. Search by name if you know the person; otherwise browse by date
4. Check Live 95 FM for today’s local obituaries at Live 95 FM obituaries page
5. For old notices, use RIP.ie’s archive feature or search by date range
6. For biographical obituaries, search the Limerick Leader or The Irish Times Notices
7. For funeral details, visit the funeral home’s website like Thompson Funeral Directors which links to both RIP.ie and 95 FM
8. Add condolences on RIP.ie directly from the notice page
9. Share the notice via social media or email from the RIP.ie page
10. Save or bookmark the notice URL for future reference

The catch: the workflow changes if you are looking for an obituary (biographical) versus a death notice (funeral details). Skip step 3–4 if you need an obituary — go directly to the Limerick Leader or The Irish Times instead.

While Limerick residents rely on 95FM and RIP.ie for local death notices, those seeking similar information in the neighbouring county can search RIP death notices in Cork.
