Free Obituaries Death Notices Online

By Claire Dowell


The office of the Vital Records Section of the state is where death records search is commonly done. But because of the increasing demand of the document, getting information about the deceased can now be done in many other methods.

One can check the obituary section of the daily newspapers in order to know about the recent deaths happening in the state. By going through the newspaper collection of the library one would be able to find the needed information about the death of an individual. Unfortunately, this method can take time and can be a hassle because one has to go through all of the newspaper collection in order to get the information needed.

In some states, information about the death of an individual can be obtained from the funeral parlor or the cemetery with which the deceased person was arranged and prepared. This can also take up time because one has to know where the body was prepared in order to get the needed information. Otherwise, it may not be possible to get the needed information.

The above methods of getting information do not release a certified copy of the document. In order to get the certified copy of a death certificate, one has to go to the office of the Vital Records Section. The said office is where all public documents of a state are being managed. If going to the state office is not possible, some states allow the retrieval of the certificate at the office of the county clerk where the person died. Sending a mail or phone request is also allowed in some states. The request and the payment have to be sent to the state office but one may need to wait for a maximum of 10 working days.

A death certificate would contain information about the person's death. One would be able to know when and where the person died as well as the cause of death. The names of the family members of the deceased are indicated in the death certificate of some states. A processing fee not going beyond $20 is needed in order to have the request processed. The basic information of the record that is being requested is needed in order to process the request. Also, the one who filed the request has to provide their contact details to be used for documentation purposes.

The Internet can allow users to conduct a free obituary search. Such method makes the search easier and convenient. The results of the search are also obtained faster. There is no need to go to any office in order to get a copy of the file. The search can be done even at home and the document Is displayed in just a few seconds after the search was done. The results obtained from the online search may not be as accurate as compared to the results from the actual search at the office.
