Anyone else here frequently browse RIP.ie?

I check if I'm on it before I decide to get up in the morning.

I'll look at the local ones maybe twice a week, as I'll usually not hear of a funeral I should attend otherwise.

I don't really need to because my mother and my younger brother are constantly on it, so they will let me know of our dearly departed.

Having said that, if I am on the site, I might do random searches of names through the years (in my area) and see if I 'recognise' anyone, or maybe look up college lecturers from 30 years ago or older people I used to work with.

Arguably , one of the better posts round these parts in a while.

I do, but I can’t find any of you, just myself.

I check it first thing in the morning and about 5 times daily. I check 6 counties as I worked across the midlands.

Yep it’d be funny alright, because let’s face it, it’s all sweetness and light when even the worst ould fecker checks out, but reading that site you’d swear every single person had a first class ticket to the pearly gates!

De mortuis nil nisi bonum.

I use it all the time for work. Don’t ask😀

Find if quite depressing after a couple of years of using it to be honest.

My wife does, regularly, it's weird!

A politicians secretary perhaps.

Yeah for some reason I would check it the odd time and go on the local page. It's a little sad seeing the homepage esp if the picture of the deceased is young

The comments section were/are odd and would often have randomers commenting. Ending them with the likes 'from a mother', 'a grandmother'

Memento Mori comrades...

Yeah, speaking of Memento Mori, f**kin Google autocompletes me into it every time I check it.

RIP.ie: you autocomplete me...

Me:

Local radio covers all the aliases nicely.

"William, also known as Will, Willy, Liam, Wills, Willo Malarkey.....reposing at..."

They should add some filters to make it more fun.

Like, Age, Marital Status, Disease, Suddenly or Peacefully, Surrounded by Family or All Alone etc............

Its one of the most used websites in Ireland by all accounts.

I myself would check 2 counties twice a week. The front page is interesting where it shows the top viewed funerals, obviously there would be some trajic cases accidents/suicides of young people and some famous people but from looking at it Louth & Cork always have funeral notices in it of deaths so those counties would strike me as top users.

I will have a look. I’ve heard it mentioned but kind of thought it was a joke!! Not sure if we have the equivalent over here in England but must do.

Nope, I'm not old enough for that.

I have alerts set up on the site. After my mother passed my dad went off travelling and asked me to let him know of anyone in the area who had died, and to attend the funeral in his stead if necessary.

It was Tongue in Cheek?! I'm not immune to knowing people who have died.
