This week, SomersetLive and its sister print titles have published heartfelt funeral and death notices honoring 35 much-loved members of the Somerset community. These tributes offer comfort and remembrance for families mourning loved ones whose lives have touched many.
Between August 30 and September 5, 32 death notices were officially placed recognizing those who recently passed away, either residents of Somerset or individuals with strong ties to the area. Additionally, two in memoriam messages and one acknowledgment have been shared, preserving lasting memories of those no longer with us.
Announcing the passing of loved ones in local news media is a longstanding tradition, and we are honored to be trusted with these important community announcements. Every notice published in our newspapers and online is also available at funeral-notices.co.uk—the UK’s leading platform for death notices and memorials.
