Free Death Records Online Access

By Claire Dowell


A death notice is an announcement of the passing away of a person. You can find them on local newspapers where they were submitted and published. They are under the obituary section because it is also referred to as an obituary or an obit. It is submitted voluntarily by the immediate family of the person who passed away or it can be done by close friends also. Newspapers are not obliged by any federal or state law to publish a death notice since it is not considered as a public record. If you want to search for Ohio Death Notices, it is best to head to the exact county of the local newspaper that published it.

If you go over an obit, you will see that it includes a few details about a person's life and maybe some of the accomplishments of the dead person. Details of the funeral services are also found on the obit. Important particulars such as the name of the dead person, date and place of death are also included. The reason of the death can also be included on the obit but it is optional.

If the deceased does not have the status of a prominent person in society, his death notice will most likely not be accepted by big time newspaper companies but local newspapers will. And if you are lucky enough to have chosen a newspaper has a digital version of their newspaper, the death notice will be displayed on their online archive. There are publications that will render a certain fee for printing the death notice but there is also the possibility that you will be not be charged anything.

It is not easy task to search for an obit if you do not have any idea where they were published. If this is the case, starting your search online is an ideal move. Once you get the details about where they can be located, proceed to the particular county personally and find their public library. If, for some reason, you cannot go to that specific county, inquire if there are people who can help you search for the obit. You can either look for library volunteers or you can ask if there are any genealogists within or near the area that can do the search for you. Understand that if the obit you are searching for is for a death that happened way back, more time will be spent to locate the exact obit and you have no other choice but to wait.

If you go over the web, there are several online websites that can aid you in looking for death notices. Prior to deciding which website fits to use, do a history check to get an idea if they are known providers of credible pieces of information. One good area to get that information is by referring to what other clients have to say about their services.

The death of a person is an important event in any person's life and so it must be properly recorded. Death Notices are just as important as the other pieces of information found in a death record. It lets the people who are not immediately informed about the death of a person know that a person has died. It also guides them to where they can head to for the funeral services.
