Somerset Funeral Notices: Heartfelt Tributes to 33 Cherished Lives

This week, SomersetLive and its sister print titles share heartfelt tributes to 33 cherished individuals from Somerset in the latest funeral and death notices. These messages offer solace and remembrance for beloved family members and friends who have recently passed away, as well as commemorations for those whose lives were cut short.

Between October 11 and October 17, 31 death notices were published, covering residents and those connected to the Somerset community. Alongside these, one in memoriam message and one acknowledgment tribute were also featured.

Announcing a loved one’s passing in local media remains a respected tradition, and we are honored by the trust families place in us for these important announcements. Each notice published in our newspaper and online is also archived on funeral-notices.co.uk—the UK’s leading platform for death notices and memorials.

These notices remain online indefinitely, offering families a permanent tribute. They provide a secure space for sharing memories, photographs, tributes, and making donations in honor of their loved ones.

Every week, we highlight the lives remembered within Somerset, along with a dedicated online tribute page. We invite readers to view the latest announcements or to publish their own funeral notices through our trusted services by contacting our team directly.

Here is a selection of recently published notices reflecting the deep love and respect held by families for those they mourn:

George, aged 81, passed peacefully on 4th October at Bath Royal United Hospital. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. His funeral will take place at Haycombe Crematorium, Bath on 29th October, with donations welcomed for Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance and Cancer Research.
John of Somerton, aged 94, reunited with his late wife Pamela, passed on 4th October at Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton. His service is scheduled at Yeovil Crematorium on 22nd October, with optional donations to Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance.

Richard (Dick) Bond, aged 88, passed away on 19th September. His memorial service will be held at Wells United Church on 20th October, with donations to Wells St John Ambulance Cadet Unit.

These entries, alongside many others, paint a vivid tribute to the lives lived across Somerset. Families have requested ‘family flowers only’ in many cases, with donations encouraged to meaningful charities connected to each individual.

Through these poignant notices, SomersetLive continues to serve as a repository of collective memory, providing a space for community grieving and celebration of life.

Our deepest condolences go out to all the families and friends of those who have died. Their memories endure in the hearts of many and in the ongoing tributes they inspire.
