This week, heartfelt tributes have been shared for 35 cherished members of the Somerset community, reflecting a tradition of honoring those who have recently passed. Between August 30 and September 5, 32 death notices were published across SomersetLive’s sister print titles, commemorating individuals connected to the region either by residence or ties.
These notices offer solace to families and friends, celebrating the lives of those lost and providing a space for memory and reflection. Additionally, there are two in memoriam notices and one acknowledgment, underscoring the lasting impact of loved ones no longer with us.
The announcement of deaths in local media remains a respected tradition, and we are honored by the trust placed in us to share these important messages. Every notice published in our newspaper and on our news website is also featured on funeral-notices.co.uk, the UK’s leading platform for death notices and memorials.
