In Gloucestershire this week, heartfelt funeral notices have been shared to commemorate the lives of several respected local residents, including a wonderfully kind grandmother, a former mayor, and a dedicated councillor who shaped their communities with devotion and compassion.
Announcing the passing of loved ones through local media remains a cherished tradition, and we take pride in the trust placed in us to share these significant tributes. Each notice published in our newspaper and on our website is also available on funeral-notices.co.uk, the UK’s leading platform for death notices and memorials. This ensures a lasting, safe space online where families and friends can honour their loved ones, share memories, add photographs, tributes, and make donations.
Each week, we pay tribute to those remembered in our area, offering an opportunity for relatives and the community to read the latest announcements and add their own tributes. Notices can also be created personally by contacting our dedicated team.

A cremation service is scheduled at North Hertfordshire Crematorium, followed by an interment service in Lampeter.
