This week, we pause to remember 36 cherished individuals from Somerset who have recently passed away. Their families, friends, and communities have shared moving tributes that celebrate the love, lives, and legacies of these beloved locals.
Between October 25 and October 31, 22 death notices were published in the funeral notices section of SomersetLive’s associated print titles. These notices honor those who lived in Somerset or had strong ties to the area and have recently departed. Additionally, there was one special in memoriam tribute recognizing a life well lived.
Announcing the passing of loved ones in local media has long been a valued tradition. We honour the trust placed in us to deliver these important announcements. Each notice published in our newspaper and online is also accessible on funeral-notices.co.uk, the UK’s leading platform for death notices and memorials.
