This week, heartfelt funeral and death notices have paid tribute to 32 dearly loved individuals from Somerset. These messages honour family members and friends, commemorating those who have recently passed and those whose lives ended too soon.
Between September 6 and September 12, a total of 30 death notices were published in SomersetLive’s sister print titles, featuring individuals who lived in or had close connections to Somerset. Additionally, two in memoriam messages commemorated loved ones no longer with us.
Announcing the passing of a loved one in local news is a longstanding tradition, and we are honoured by the trust placed in us to share these important announcements. Every published notice appears on funeral-notices.co.uk, the UK’s leading site for death notices and memorials.
