free obituaries
Is there anywhere that I can get free copies of death records and obituaries?
I am trying to find death records and obituaries for my mom and dad.
Hey bbb7978,
I have never found Death Records for free, and have looked. Unless a relative has a copy – and you can copy that. Usually you can look up your State, County, City, or Town VITAL RECORDS (see the web sites below), and they have a process to obtain those records. Sometimes the mortuary keeps copies of Death Records, you might be able to sweet talk someone there into a copy. Try also the LDS web site, that will get you some information free – SSN for one.
Obits are free in the news paper. You can go to the library and find them. There are many online Obit places. I have written to libraries (email-search for and find libraries online too), and they sent me copies free, or call them. This is what you want to hear. These are not VITAL RECORDS, but the give vital clues to Genealogy research. I leave you with a few web sites.
