obituaries

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'passing remarks' is the definition.
(remarks made after someone has passed)

'you uncovered cherishing a little sign?' is the wordplay.
'uncovered' indicates the central letters.
'cherishing a little' becomes 'bitu' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'sign?' becomes 'Aries' (star sign).
The central letter of 'you' is 'o'.
'o'+'bitu'+'aries'='OBITUARIES'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for obituaries that I've seen is " late notices".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
