### Search by Name If you know the name of the deceased, you can use the search bar on the obituary page. The system supports both partial and full name searches. This is helpful if you are unsure of the exact spelling of a first or last name, as entering a partial name can still generate matching results. ### Browse by Month If you do not know the exact spelling of a name but know approximately when the person passed away, you can browse the listings by month. This method allows you to scroll through all recorded services and obituaries published during a specific timeframe. ### Filter by the First Letter of the Last Name For a broader search, the website allows you to filter listings alphabetically. By selecting the first letter of the individual's last name, you can view a filtered list of all obituaries matching that letter. This is particularly useful when looking for common last names or when you want to scan through alphabetical records. ## What Information is Included in the Listings?
Once you locate the correct listing and click on the individual's name, you will be directed to their dedicated page. These individual memorial pages can contain several types of information and interactive features: * **The Obituary:** A written summary of the individual's life, family, and achievements. * **Service Information:** Details regarding the dates, times, and locations of visitations, funerals, or memorial services. * **Tribute Options:** Interactive features that allow visitors to leave condolences or share memories. * **Flower Links:** Direct links to order and send flowers to the family or the service. ## Search Limitations and Troubleshooting While the online database is a helpful resource, there are some limitations to keep in mind during your search:
* **Older Records:** The availability of older historical records on the website is not guaranteed. If you are searching for an obituary from many years ago, the record may not be digitized or available online. * **Spelling Variations:** If a name search yields no results, try entering only a partial name or filtering by the first letter of the last name to account for potential spelling discrepancies. * **Direct Verification:** If you cannot find the obituary you are looking for through the online search tools, you may need to contact the funeral home directly to verify the information or inquire about offline archives.
