Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find a death record for someone?
A people-search aggregator is the fastest starting point — enter the name and it pulls death record data, obituary information, and known relatives from public sources across all 50 states in a single search. If you need an official certified copy afterward, the relevant state vital records office can provide one.
Are death records public?
Generally yes. Index-level death record information — name, date, and location — is publicly available in most states. A people-search service compiles this data across jurisdictions so you don't have to search state by state.
Can I use these searches for employment, housing, or insurance decisions?
No. These services are not consumer reporting agencies. They cannot be used for employment, tenant screening, insurance underwriting, credit decisions, or any other purpose governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
