This week, SomersetLive shares heartfelt tributes to 25 cherished locals, commemorated in the latest funeral and death notices from June 21 to June 27. These messages pay tribute to beloved family members and friends, including those whose lives were tragically cut short.
A total of 24 death notices have been featured across SomersetLive’s sister print titles, reflecting the deep connections these individuals had to Somerset, whether through residence or family ties. Additionally, one in memoriam message celebrates loved ones no longer with us.
Announcing the passing of loved ones through local news media is a long-standing tradition, and we are honoured by the trust placed in us to deliver these important announcements. Every notice published in our newspaper and on our website also appears on funeral-notices.co.uk, the UK’s leading platform for death notices and memorials.
