Announcing the passing of loved ones through local media is a time-honoured tradition, and we are honoured to be trusted with sharing these important announcements. Every notice published in our newspaper and on our news site is also featured on funeral-notices.co.uk – the UK’s leading website for death notices and memorials. These notices remain online permanently, providing families and friends a lasting tribute, a safe space to share memories, leave tributes, upload photographs, and make donations in memory of their loved ones.
Each week, we pay tribute to those who have passed within our Somerset community by sharing funeral notices and online memorial pages. To view the latest announcements, add tributes, or submit your own funeral notice, please visit funeral-notices.co.uk or contact our dedicated team at 01482 908084.
