This is a sign I found at the entrance door of the evangelical church in Altenbeken, Paderborn County. The English translation would be:

WORSHIP SERVICE
sundays and church holidays 10:00 hrs
Deceased

Apparently the sign means to announce both services and the names of recently deceased members of the community. But as no names are displayed, one is led to refer the "Deceased" to the services...
