In Memoriam - Obituary
We have over 1,200 deceased members since we started the NCRO back in 2008. The list of those who have left us was getting too large to not only manage, but also too long of a list to scroll through on a webpage.
We now have an Official Obituary Page where we can share all submitted loved one’s current obituaries. Then, after the memorial services have passed, those listings will rotate to the archives after 30 days.
We hope you understand and if you were asking about a posting of an obituary for a loved one, please accept our deepest condolences.
