Adored grandmother among this week's Gloucestershire funeral notices

Announcing the passing of a loved one in local news media is a longstanding tradition, and we are honoured to be entrusted with these important announcements. Every funeral notice published in our newspaper and on our news website also appears on funeral-notices.co.uk, the UK’s leading site for death notices and memorials. Each notice remains online indefinitely, offering friends and family a permanent tribute, a secure place to share memories, add tributes and photographs, and make donations in memory.

Each week, we pay tribute to the dearly missed in our area through funeral notices and online tribute pages. To view the latest announcements, add your own memories, or create a funeral notice, please visit the relevant section on our website or contact our supportive team on 01482 908084.
