Two registers on one page. Community memorials are family and neighborhood remembrances — including paid $69 placements. Historical figures are public memorials for documented deceased Americans. American War Heroes is a separate, publisher-curated historical roll — Revolution first, every war listed, and missing in action treated as a duty. A Community memorial may mention service; it does not enroll anyone on that roll. Veterans use code VET50 for 50% off Obituary Placement only — a price, not a verification, and not a discount on public notices.
Each published page keeps a content-hash fingerprint on Base. The full memorial text stays on Notice Nearby. This is not a legal affidavit.
