This week, GloucestershireLive pays heartfelt tribute to 30 much-loved locals through the latest funeral and death notices. From cherished family members to those whose lives were tragically cut short, these messages offer comfort and remembrance.
Between April 18 and April 24, a total of 27 death notices were published in GloucestershireLive’s sister print titles, honoring individuals who lived in or had strong ties to the city. Additionally, two “in memoriam” messages and one acknowledgement were shared, each offering solace to grieving families and friends.
Announcing loved ones' passing in local news media remains a time-honored tradition, and we are honored by the trust placed in us to deliver these meaningful announcements. Every notice published also appears on funeral-notices.co.uk, the UK’s leading platform for death notices and memorials.
These notices will remain accessible online indefinitely, providing families and friends with a lasting tribute. This secure space allows for sharing memories, adding tributes, photos, and enabling donations in memory of the departed.
Each week, we honor those who have passed in our region with funeral notices and online tribute pages. Here is a selection of recent notices:
