The announcement of a loved one’s passing through local news media remains a cherished tradition. We are honoured by the trust placed in us to share these important life tributes. Every death notice published in our newspaper and online also appears on funeral-notices.co.uk, the UK’s leading site for death notices and memorials.
These notices stay online indefinitely, offering families and friends a lasting tribute—a safe space to share memories, post photographs, add personal tributes, and make charitable donations in honour of those they have lost.
Each week, we dedicate this space to remember and celebrate the lives of those from our community. Below are a selection of funeral announcements from Somerset published this week.
