About this list
US Obituaries Database from ListCentral.US is a national file of published obituary and death notice records covering all 50 states, updated weekly. Records are compiled from newspaper obituaries, funeral home notices, and published memorial sources, then verified and deduplicated across overlapping publications before release.
What's in the national obituaries file
- Deceased individual's full name
- Date of death, age, and location of death
- City, county, and state
- Funeral home, service and burial location
- Surviving family members, where published
- Publication source and date
National coverage
All 50 states are included in a single file, with state and county labelling preserved so records can be filtered down to any market. Because a single death notice often runs in several publications - and in dense states like New Jersey or Illinois, in many - deduplication is applied across the whole national set rather than state by state, which is the main reason a national file differs from stacking fifty state files together.
