This week, heartfelt funeral and death notices have commemorated 33 beloved individuals from Somerset, reflecting the deep respect and affection held by their families and communities. Between July 5 and July 11, 26 death notices were published across SomersetLive’s print sister titles, honoring locals and those with strong connections to the area who recently passed away. Alongside these, six in memoriam messages celebrated the lasting legacies of loved ones no longer with us.
Sharing the news of a loved one’s passing in local media remains a cherished tradition, one we are honoured to uphold. Each notice is also featured on funeral-notices.co.uk, the UK’s leading platform for death notices and memorial tributes. These pages serve as enduring digital tributes, providing a respectful, permanent space for families and friends to share memories, add messages, upload photographs, and collect donations in remembrance.
Every week, SomersetLive pays tribute to those who have passed, offering readers an opportunity to view the latest announcements and leave their condolences. Notices can be created online or by contacting our dedicated team.
