Announcing the passing of a loved one in local media is a deeply rooted tradition, and we are honored by the trust placed in us to share these significant announcements. Every death notice published in our newspaper and on our news website also appears on funeral-notices.co.uk, the UK’s leading platform for death notices and memorials. Each notice remains online indefinitely, offering families and friends a lasting tribute—a safe space to share memories, post tributes, photographs, and contributions made in memory of their loved ones.
Each week, we pay homage to those remembered across Gloucestershire through funeral notices and accompanying online tribute pages. Here, we share a selection of the heartfelt announcements published recently, honoring the lives and legacies of those who have passed.
Among those we remember:
-
Michael, who peacefully passed aged 87, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. A Requiem Mass will be held at Sacred Hearts Church, Charlton Kings, with donations welcomed for The Alzheimer’s Society.
-
Rich, aged 60, dearly loved husband, father, son, and brother. His service will take place at Mendip Crematorium, followed by a wake to celebrate his life. Donations may be made to Dorothy House Hospice Care.
-
Valued community members such as Margaret, Elisabeth, and Barry Gardner, a respected Gloucester photographer cherished for his warm humor and memorable family portraits, whose contributions enriched countless lives.
-
Others include dedicated teachers, devoted parents and grandparents, and treasured friends who made lasting impacts in their communities.
Each tribute reflects a unique story of love, dedication, and remembrance. Funeral services often invite family flowers only, with donations encouraged to various charities representing causes close to the hearts of the departed and their families.
We extend our deepest sympathies to families and friends mourning their loved ones. Through these remembrances, we honor their stories and ensure that their memories endure in the hearts of those who knew them.
