New RIP.ie Rival Website Just Irish Mother With Megaphone

THERE IS A feeling within the lucrative Irish death notice industry that the Irish Times’ owned RIP.ie has made a fatal error in implementing a €100 death notice fee as rival and copycat websites continue sprouting up.

Among many pretenders, there is one website which is taking a significant trade from the big player in the death notice game.

“Carmel Hughes, awful sad, only 87. Whole life ahead of her. Just the daughter now left, she’ll be lost without her, family flowers only,” Irish mother Eithne Nolan announced via a megaphone at the crossroads of the village of Callinacrone.

The 68-year-old entrepreneur is one of many who have sought to copy the RIP.ie service minus the charging of extortionate fees and she may wipe out the venerated website in no time at all.

“I find her better than RIP, she knew Dessie Laffin was dead before he did. And she collects the condolences, memorises them and passes them on to the families. I’m not good with the online stuff anyway so she’s a great auld service,” confirmed one funeral addict.

Utilising her extensive network of death curious curtain twitchers to identify the newly and almost deceased, Nolan has broken news of local deaths with staggering accuracy while providing all and any details desired by the public.

“Short illness, gone in her sleep, best way to go. Funeral 1pm Tuesday. Late enough for a funeral but the spread will be mighty in the Royal Hotel, not like they don’t money them lot,” Nolan said from her megaphone, now expanding her business by placing herself in a specially designed ‘death notice turret’ which has been welded to the roof of a hi-ace van, allowing her to speed through village after village delivering multiple notices in a single trip.
