This week, 20 much-loved Somerset locals were honored with heartfelt messages in the latest funeral and death notices. These tributes lovingly remember family members and individuals whose lives were tragically cut short.
Nineteen death notices were featured in SomersetLive’s sister print titles, paying respects to those with ties to the city or local residents who recently passed away. The messages, spanning from April 19 to April 25, offer solace to the loved ones of those being remembered. Additionally, one acknowledgment was made.
Announcing the passing of a loved one in local news media is a longstanding tradition, and the trust placed in sharing these important announcements is deeply valued. Each notice published in the newspaper also appears on funeral-notices.co.uk, the UK’s top site for death notices and memoriams.
