Anyone who conducts genealogical research understands the value of published obituaries. They can offer spouse or parents' names, provide information on an individual's employment or religious affiliation, detail children’s names, unveil place of burial, and shed light on a multitude of other facets of a person's life.
The following list is an overview of the vast collection of Pennsylvania's historical newspapers in which we can conduct obituary (and other) searches. Dates indicate only general availability (beginning with earliest issues) so please contact us about specific searches.
We offer Pennsylvania obituary searches for:
• $40 each if only the name, month and year of death, and place of death are provided
If even fewer details are known, we will offer a custom quote. Order research or visit the “contact” page to submit your request.
