This week, Somerset communities have come together to pay tribute to 36 dearly loved local residents who have recently passed away. From August 16 to August 22, a total of 32 death notices and 4 memorial messages were published in SomersetLive’s sister print publications, marking the loss of treasured family members, friends, and community figures.
Publishing funeral notices is a longstanding tradition that provides comfort, connection, and a way to celebrate the lives of those who have left us. We are honoured by the trust placed in us to share these vital announcements within the community.
Each notice featured in our newspaper and online also appears on funeral-notices.co.uk, the UK’s leading platform for death announcements and memorial pages. These notices remain accessible indefinitely, allowing family, friends, and the wider community to remember loved ones, share personal stories, upload photos, and contribute donations in their memory.

Every week, we highlight notable funeral notices and online tributes from our local area, offering a sacred space to honour those we have lost. Families seeking to place their own funeral notice can do so by contacting our dedicated team on 01482 908084, or through our website.
Below are selected tributes published this week, reminding us of the rich lives that have touched our community—from devoted parents, grandparents, and friends to passionate advocates and lifelong local residents. Their memories endure through these heartfelt words and the generosity directed in their names toward cherished charities such as the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance, Macmillan Cancer Support, and others.
Our sincerest condolences go out to all families and friends during this difficult time. May these tributes serve as lasting tokens of love, respect, and remembrance.
