This week, heartfelt tributes were shared for 26 cherished members of the Gloucestershire community through the latest funeral and death notices. These messages honor not only those who have passed but also comfort their families and friends during a difficult time.
Between October 25 and October 31, 24 death notices appeared in the funeral notices sections of SomersetLive’s sister print titles for individuals connected to Gloucester and surrounding areas. Additionally, two in memoriam messages were published, further commemorating loved ones.
Announcing a loved one’s passing in local news media is a longstanding tradition, and we take pride in the trust placed in us to deliver these important messages. Every notice published in our newspapers and online is also available on funeral-notices.co.uk — the UK’s foremost platform for death notices and memoriam tributes.
