County To Remember 70 People Whose Remains Went Unclaimed

Brought to you by the Rhino Times Guilford County will set aside 70 seconds on Wednesday, Nov. 18 – one for each of the 70 people who died during the county’s 2025-26 fiscal year and whose remains went unclaimed. The silence will be part of Guilford County’s first memorial service for its unclaimed deceased. The county’s Department of Social Services and Register of Deeds Office are holding the service from 11 a.m. to noon at First Baptist Church at 1000 W. Friendly Ave. in Greensboro. The county describes the gathering as an interfaith, non-denominational service. Plans include live music, prayers and reflections from several faith traditions and an honor guard from the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office. The service will also recognize first responders and other public servants who regularly encounter death and loss in their work.
