This week, heartfelt tributes have been paid to 24 cherished members of the Somerset community through the latest funeral and death notices. These notices reflect the deep love and respect held for family members, friends, and neighbours, including those whose lives ended too soon.
Between July 19 and July 25, 23 death notices were submitted to SomersetLive’s sister print titles, commemorating individuals who lived in the city or had strong ties to the area. Additionally, one in memoriam tribute remembered a loved one no longer with us.
Publishing funeral notices in local media remains a time-honoured tradition, and we are honoured by the trust placed in us to share these important announcements. Each notice not only appears in our newspapers and website but also on funeral-notices.co.uk—the UK’s leading platform for death notices and memorials.
