Somerset Funeral Notices: Heartfelt Tributes to 31 Cherished Locals

This week, the latest funeral and death notices in Somerset honor the lives of 31 cherished locals, offering heartfelt tributes to beloved family members and friends, including those whose lives were tragically cut short.

Between August 9 and August 15, 30 death notices were published in SomersetLive’s sister print publications. These announcements pay tribute to individuals who lived in the area or had strong connections to it, acknowledging their recent passing.

Alongside these notices, a special in memoriam message commemorates loved ones no longer with us.

Announcing the passing of loved ones in local news is a time-honored tradition, and we are privileged to be entrusted with sharing these important messages.

Every notice published in our newspapers and on our news website also appears on funeral-notices.co.uk, the UK’s leading platform for death notices and memorials.

These tributes remain permanently accessible online, providing families and friends with a lasting tribute—a safe space to share memories, post photographs, add messages, and make donations in honor of their loved ones.

Each week, we remember and celebrate those from our community with a dedicated funeral notice and online tribute page. If you wish to view the latest announcements or create a funeral notice, please contact our team at 01482 908084.
