* **Partial or Full Name Search:** The search bar allows you to type in either a partial or full name. This is the fastest way to find a listing if you know the spelling of the individual's name. * **Browse by Month:** If you do not know the exact spelling of a name but know the approximate time of death or when the services were held, you can browse the listings chronologically by month. * **Filter by Last Name:** You can filter the directory alphabetically by selecting the first letter of the individual's last name. This is helpful if you want to scan through all listings under a specific letter. ## Information Available on Individual Pages Once you locate the correct name and click on the listing, you will be directed to a dedicated page for that individual. The details provided on these pages can help you coordinate attendance at a service or express your condolences. Individual pages can contain: * **The Obituary:** A written tribute detailing the individual's life, family, and achievements. * **Service Information:** Specific details regarding the dates, times, and locations of visitations, memorial services, or burials. * **Tribute Options:** Interactive features that allow family and friends to leave condolences, share memories, or post messages. * **Flower Links:** Direct links to order flowers to be sent to the service or to the family.
## Limitations of Online Records When searching the database, keep in mind that the availability of older records is not guaranteed. Online archives may not contain every historical record or older obituary from the funeral home's history. If your search does not yield any results, it does not necessarily mean the record does not exist. In these cases, it is recommended to contact the funeral home directly to verify the information or to ask about older archives that may not be published on the website. ## What to Do If You Cannot Find a Listing
If a search for a specific name does not return any results, you can try the following steps to locate the information: * **Simplify the Search Term:** If you initially searched using a full name, try searching for just the last name or a partial name to account for potential spelling variations. * **Use the Alphabetical Filter:** Select the first letter of the last name and manually scroll through the listings to see if the name was entered differently than expected. * **Browse by Month:** If you know the month of passing, browse that specific month's listings to locate the person manually. * **Verify Directly:** Because the availability of older records is not guaranteed online, contacting the funeral home directly is the most reliable way to verify information that cannot be found on the website.
