Find an Obituary
We've assembled a bunch of tips to help you find the obituary you are looking for. Just scroll through the points below and start searching!
Beginning your search
- Use the Advanced Search page for best results
- Since you are looking for obituaries, searching for a person's name is not enough. You need to include the word "obituaries."
- Keep in mind that some papers use "death notices" instead of "obituaries," so you might want to search on that, too.
Narrowing your search
Try using the "Narrow By Publication Date" or "Narrow By Publication Location" function in the Advanced Search page if you know dates or locations of the notice you are looking for. This will help screen out all sorts of unrelated results.
Expanding your search
- Sometimes, especially in older papers, you may need to expand your search rather than narrow it. Try using different spellings for the last name you are looking for, as well as nearby locations.
