All the death notices and funeral announcements made in Bristol this week

Every week people across Bristol share the loss of their most beloved family members online and in the paper. It is a way of marking their loss, and also spreading the message about their relative or friend's passing with people they may have lost touch with over the years.

It also serves as a place for people to send messages to the family without potentially intruding by contacting them directly. And of course it is away of sharing any details about funerals so people who wish to pay their respects may do so.

The below death and funeral announcements were all posted between August 13 and August 19. If you wish to make a funeral announcement of your own in the Bristol Post, or ur sister titles, you may do so at funeral-notices.co.uk
