Heartfelt tributes have been shared for 24 cherished individuals from Somerset in this week’s funeral and death notices. These messages honor loved ones who have left us, some after long battles with illness, others suddenly and tragically, reflecting the deep connections within the local community.
From July 19 to July 25, 23 death notices were submitted to SomersetLive’s print publications, commemorating residents or those with strong ties to the region. Additionally, one in memoriam notice was featured, preserving the memory of a dearly missed individual.
Publishing funeral and death notices in local media remains a valued tradition, and we are honored by the trust families place in us to share these important announcements. Each notice is also available on funeral-notices.co.uk, the UK’s leading site for death notices and memorials.
