RIP.ie is a death notices website in Ireland, launched in 2005.[1] As of 2021, the website received approximately 250,000 visits per day and more than 50 million pages were viewed each month. Accounts for 2019 showed net assets of over €1 million.[2] Since 2024 it has been owned by The Irish Times Group.
Death notices may only be submitted by funeral directors and not directly by members of the public.[3][4] Members of the public may submit messages of condolence on individual death notices, which are reviewed by the business prior to publication, and which are organised into a downloadable book of condolence.[5] The website contains a service directory, which lists funeral directors, florists and caterers, and an online shop selling handwritten sympathy cards.[6]
