This week, Somerset communities have come together to honor the lives of 24 dearly loved individuals through moving funeral and death notices. These tributes pay homage to family members cherished by many and acknowledge those whose lives were tragically cut short.
Between August 1 and August 8, twenty-three death notices were published in the funeral sections of SomersetLive’s sister print publications. These notices represent individuals connected to Somerset by residence or personal ties who have recently passed away. Additionally, one in memoriam message commemorated loved ones no longer with us.
Publishing obituary announcements in local media is a respected tradition, and SomersetLive takes pride in the trust bestowed upon us to share these important messages. Every notice featured in our newspapers and on our website also appears on funeral-notices.co.uk — the United Kingdom’s premier platform for death notices and memorials.

Our online archives ensure that these tributes endure permanently, providing friends and family a lasting space to share memories, post photographs, and make charitable donations in honor of their lost loved ones.
Each week, we pay homage to those remembered in our region with detailed funeral notices and online tribute pages. To submit a notice or add a personal tribute, families are invited to contact our dedicated team at 01482 908084.
Among the heartfelt remembrances published this week, we honor lives filled with love, service, and cherished relationships:
-
David, 81, devoted husband and father, with a distinguished career in the Ministry of Defence, remembered fondly by family and colleagues.
-
Margaret (Peggy), 94, beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, who passed peacefully at home.
-
Colin, 79, celebrated by family and friends with services reflecting his warm spirit and community engagements.

Additional tributes reflect the lives of many — from age 55 to over 100 — each honored with private or public services and opportunities to contribute to causes dear to their hearts.
Our sincere condolences extend to all families and friends who are mourning these losses. Somerset remains a community of support and remembrance, holding dear those who have passed and continuing their legacy through love and memory.
