Somerset Area Death Notices and Funeral Announcements This Week

The tradition of announcing the passing of loved ones in local news media remains a meaningful way to honour and remember those who have departed. We are privileged to be trusted with sharing these important announcements in our community. Each notice published in our newspaper and on our news website also appears on funeral-notices.co.uk, the UK’s premier site for death notices and memorials. These notices are preserved online indefinitely, providing a lasting tribute where friends and family can share memories, post photographs, leave tributes, and make charitable donations in memory of their loved one.

Every week, we pay respect to those remembered in the Somerset area through funeral notices and online tribute pages. To read the latest announcements, add your tributes, or create a funeral notice, you may visit the relevant platform or call our dedicated support team at 01482 908084.
