If anyone has a local newspaper could you please look in the obituary section and see if there is anything for Andrea Martin-Flaven she was 41 when she died on 9th March 2007.

Thanks if you can be of any help.

Whereabouts in Berkshire? My Mum would have the Reading Evening Post and possibly the Wokingham paper.... any ideas what date it would have been in?

Nothing in this weeks Reading Chronicle.

Were you a friend of the family? If you are lookig for funeral details may get them from local Undertakers - there are a few main companies in Reading.

It might only have gone in the paper this week.
She came from Reading but i think the funeral is Wokingham Crematorium some time next week.
So it could be in either paper.

My friend knew her and wants funeral details, and more details surounding her death, as she sadly took her own life.

As Milliways says, there are some key undertakers in Reading which she may be able to ring around. Do you know a specific area that she was from?
I've checked the Evening Post website obits and there are some from 9th but not that name unfortunately.

I had the same thing with a friend so would like to try my beest to help, knowing how it feels.

Some local newspapers are available on-line, although I don't know if they put the classified information in them.

If she did take her own life then there probably won't be an obituary published - especially if there are any children involved who may need protecting from the details. Or could be an enquiry pending?

I hope the remaining family get all the support they can.

Hi there. Have looked in wokingham times and nothing there. Will try to find our other newsapaper and check for you.

The crematorium in Woikngham is called Easthampstead Crematorium. She could try contacting them to find out.
