The announcement of a loved one’s passing in local news media is a time-honoured tradition we deeply value. We are honoured by the trust placed in us to share these important messages with the community. Every death notice we publish, both in our newspaper and on our website, is also hosted on funeral-notices.co.uk — the UK’s premier platform for death notices and memorials.
Each notice remains online indefinitely, providing families and friends with a lasting tribute. This online space offers a secure environment to share memories, post tributes, add photographs, and make donations in honour of those who have departed.
Every week, we pay heartfelt tribute to the individuals remembered in our Somerset area through funeral notices and online memorial pages. To view the latest announcements or contribute your memories, or if you wish to create a funeral notice, please contact our dedicated team at 01482 908084.
