Sharing the news of a loved one’s passing through local media is a cherished tradition, and we are honoured by the trust placed in us to help commemorate these important moments. Every funeral notice we publish in our newspaper and on our website is also featured on funeral-notices.co.uk — the UK’s leading platform for death notices and memorials. These notices remain online indefinitely, offering a lasting tribute where friends and family can share memories, post tributes, upload photographs, and make donations in honour of their loved ones.
Each week, we pause to remember those from our community who have passed, providing funeral details and online tribute pages. Whether you wish to read the latest announcements, add your own tribute, or create a funeral notice, our dedicated team is here to assist. Simply contact us to begin.
Among the recent notices, we are touched to recall Ann, a remarkable individual who joined the historic 1975 British Everest Southwest Face Expedition led by Sir Chris Bonington. Ann reached the Everest Base Camp at 18,000 feet during this milestone journey, which achieved the first successful ascent of Mount Everest’s Southwest Face—a feat that earned worldwide acclaim and royal recognition upon their return. Ann’s adventurous spirit and legacy will be fondly remembered by family and friends.

The community also mourns many dearly loved individuals who peacefully left us recently, including cherished spouses, parents, grandparents, siblings, and friends. Their funeral services bring together family and community members to celebrate their lives in settings ranging from local churches to crematoriums across Somerset.
Those honoured had a wide variety of interests and contributions — from sports enthusiasts and dedicated professionals to those who devoted themselves to family and community. Many funeral services request donations to various charities in their memory, reflecting the causes dear to the departed.
Our thoughts remain with all who are grieving, and we hold their loved ones in our hearts. May these tributes serve as a humble remembrance of lives well lived and the lasting impact they leave behind.
