HULL — Death notices funeral announcements published include a tribute to Raymond William Callis and notices explaining how families wish to remember loved ones. The selection, published this week, also gives service details in some cases and says funeral arrangements for Callis will follow in due course.
The notices serve a practical purpose for people in the area: they tell readers whether a service is planned, where it will take place when that information is provided, and whether a family has requested donations or asked for no service. Some families have chosen private cremation.
Death notices funeral announcements and tributes
The Hull Daily Mail says announcing a loved one’s passing in local news media is a long-standing tradition and that it is proud of the trust placed in it to publish the announcements. The newspaper publishes a selection of notices each week; the notices included in this account have appeared in the pages of the Hull Daily Mail.
Among them is a tribute to Raymond William Callis, who died aged 92 with his wife, Joyce, by his side. The notice describes him as her childhood sweetheart, lifelong love and dancing partner, and says he was a devoted father to Paul and a grandfather to Henry and Emerson.
Callis and Joyce devoted most of their lives to the Callis Waudby School of Dancing, according to the tribute. It says they inspired generations of dancers and describes Callis as an icon of the dancing world. His family’s notice says funeral arrangements will be announced in due course.
Another notice remembers a person aged 95, described as a dearly loved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. The tribute says the person is reunited with husband Bill and will be sadly missed by family and friends. It gives details of a service at Lelley Fields Crematorium and asks for family flowers only, with donations for chosen charities if desired.
A separate announcement concerns a person aged 88 who died at Westerlands Care Village in Brough. The notice identifies the person as a wife, mother and grandmother, and says the cremation will be private.
Service choices and online memorials
One family has asked for no service, in keeping with the deceased’s request. The notice describes the person as a much-loved father, grandfather, great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather.
Another notice remembers a person aged 91 who died after a short illness at Dove House Hospice. It lists a funeral service at Eastern Cemetery before interment, asks for family flowers only and names Dove House Hospice as the charity for donations.
These details can help relatives, friends and other community members understand how to pay their respects without assuming every family has made the same arrangements. A notice may invite people to a service, set out a private cremation, or explain that no service will be held. Donation requests also give mourners a way to honour a family’s stated wishes.
The newspaper says every notice published in print and on its news site also appears on funeral-notices.co.uk. The site allows friends and families to share memories, add tributes and photographs, and make donations in memory of the person who died. The newspaper says each notice remains online forever as a lifelong tribute.
