Equivalent of RIP. Ie in Northern Ireland ?

[beanaseireann]

What is the equivalent of RIP.ie in Northern Ireland please?

Eh, RIP?
I never noticed anything different.
But I’m sure someone will be along to tell me what it is.

Context is all- are you talking about a Facebook post, or an inscription on a gravestone, or something else?

www.rip.ie is a website here with information about recent deaths - funeral times etc. It's very useful when removals and funerals are organised very soon after the death, compared to the UK anyway. Sorry OP, I'm not sure if there is one for Northern Ireland?

I have often wondered if the uk had an equivalent.

I think it's funeraltimes.com.

You can look up the death notices in the Irish news or Belfast telegraph websites but there isn't an equivalent exactly

Is it not „ar dheis de go raibh a anam“ - may his soul rest at god’s right hand - for nationalist catholics at least.

🤦‍♀️

Thank you.
It was an equivalent website I was looking for.
The potential corpse wouldn't have anything to do with an Irish website. Iykwim.

A lot of the undertakers have their own online obituary pages now - if you know the area you can try googling undertakers in that area? Otherwise Belfast Telegraph or Newsletter online.

Thank you

As pp has said, it's funeraltimes.com
Don't know how widely it is used but my family certainly did.

Thank you

Apologies, I only see this now. RIP. Ie does sometimes get used up here. If you go by county you can find funeral details on it. Otherwise, most details seem to be on funeraltimes as per PPs.

The vast majority of people in NI do use the term RIP but for really committed Protestants ( usually older generation) they sometimes comment that the term in its origins is something to do with purgatory ( does that sound right?) which Protestants don’t believe in so they shouldn’t say it.They believe the soul goes straight to god or hell with no in between period and further prayers are of no benefit to them.
apologies if I’ve got this wrong ( I have no religion so only repeating what I’ve been told)
However this is generally only the older generation. Most young Protestants I know comment “RIP” on every death notified on social media. Probably because they are expressing hope that the body should rest in peace for eternity without being disturbed(?)

If it’s a term that you use yourself then nobody will blink an eye.

It's do with a website that announces funeral times @blubberyboo

In the rep of Ireland, everybody uses it. Church of Ireland, Jewish, Muslim, Catholics, pretty much everybody uses RIP.ie and it's very useful

What did we do before it!

blubberyboo Thank you but TheYearOfTheDog's explanation was what I was after.
It's a very good website for information re Death notices.
