How to find an obituary

Some of us, particularly newspaper readers, have seen a death notice of someone with brief information provided below the title that shows a death announcement; this is known as an obituary.

Finding an ancestor’s obituary is not challenging in this modern world, thanks to technology that enables users to access an ancient record with a single click. An obituary is published in newspapers—online and in print—to openly announce the death of a loved one. Some websites also retain a record of obituaries.
