The phrase identifies a specific source for information regarding death announcements and memorial services. It denotes a compilation of published notices related to individuals who have passed away and whose arrangements were handled by a particular funeral service provider and associated memorial grounds. These notices typically include details such as the deceased’s name, dates of birth and death, biographical information, funeral or memorial service schedules, and often include photographs and expressions of condolence.
Accessing these records is valuable for genealogical research, allowing individuals to trace family history and confirm vital statistics. Furthermore, it allows community members to pay respects, attend services, and offer support to grieving families. Historically, such compilations were primarily available in print media, but are now frequently accessible through online platforms, increasing their reach and convenience. They serve as both a public record and a means of collective mourning and remembrance.
