This week, heartfelt tributes have been shared for 25 much-loved members of the Somerset community through the latest funeral and death notices. These messages honor family members and friends, some of whom tragically had their lives cut short, providing comfort to bereaved loved ones.
From May 24 to May 30, 22 death notices were published in the funeral section of SomersetLive’s sister print titles. They commemorate those who either lived in Somerset or had strong ties to the county and who have recently passed away. Additionally, there were two in memoriam messages and one acknowledgment notice.
Announcing the loss of loved ones in local news remains a longstanding and trusted tradition. Each notice published in our newspaper or online also appears on funeral-notices.co.uk, the UK’s leading site for death notices and memorials. These online memorials remain accessible indefinitely, offering families and friends a lasting tribute where memories, photographs, and donations in honor of the deceased can be shared.

Every week, we pay homage to those remembered from our community with a dedicated funeral notice and online tribute page. The following are a selection of the notices published earlier this week, illustrating the rich lives of those we have lost—from long illnesses and peaceful passings to sudden goodbyes. The notices often include details of funeral services, requests regarding flowers, and suggested charities for donations.
Among those commemorated: a founder of a local motor business, a distinguished nurse awarded for exceptional service, devoted family members, and community contributors. Families across Somerset continue to uphold the tradition of sharing these notices, finding solace in celebrating the legacies of their loved ones.
We extend our deepest sympathies to the families and friends during these difficult times and honor the memories of all those who have passed.
