How to use the index

Each entry contains basic information, such as, name, date of publication, etc.

Find the publication abbreviation in our publication list.

If you are not a contributor, you will need to contact the publication, a library, or genealogical society to find the actual obituary itself.

How it works

1. Volunteers contribute indexes of obituaries from their local papers.

2. Entries are put into a searchable database.

3. Entries are emailed to list subscribers.

4. Volunteers can contact contributors for an actual obituary.

How to help

If you have a computer and subscribe to a publication that has obituaries, you can help!

Just a few minutes a day and you can help other researchers find those all-important obituaries for their genealogical research.

The Obituary Daily Times started in 1995 as an obituary sharing project. As time went on, we made our database and email available to the public.

We are grateful to all of our dedicated volunteers who have contributed to this project over the years and all those who continue to contribute their time to this effort.
