All Obituaries

We are very sorry about the confusion regarding the listing of obituaries.

Because of services delayed due to Covid we are listing obituaries by date of service so that people will know when a service is coming up.

This causes more recently added obituaries to be placed further down the list.

We are very sorry for any inconvenience and hope that the listing can go back to normal soon.

Thank you for your patience.
