This week, heartfelt tributes have commemorated 33 cherished members of the Somerset community through funeral and death notices. These messages provide comfort and celebrate the lives of those recently passed, including family members and individuals whose lives were tragically cut short.
Between July 5 and July 11, a total of 26 death notices were published across SomersetLive’s sister print titles, paying homage to local residents and those with strong ties to the area. Additionally, six in memoriam messages honoured those no longer with us.
Announcing a loved one’s passing in local media is a longstanding tradition, and we are honoured to be trusted with these significant announcements. Every notice published in our newspaper and online also appears on funeral-notices.co.uk, the UK’s leading site for death notices and memorials.
