FAQs

How do I find an obituary in MN? ›

The Dignity Memorial® online obituary search tool gives you access to obituaries from thousands of locations across North America. You can search by first or last name, state and publication date.

You can typically find current obituaries through a simple online search (if one was written). Most funeral homes and cremation providers publish obituaries on their websites. Older obituaries are becoming increasingly easier to find online. Search old newspapers or genealogy sites.

All Minnesota death records are public, so anyone may buy a noncertified (informational only) death record. See the Who Can Order Records page for more information about confidential documents and who may request vital records documents and services.

As funeral homes across America post obituaries to their respective funeral home website, The Obituary App organizes them all into particular cities. Now, a user can look at all the obituaries posted by multiple funeral homes in one place.

Online funeral notices

Many funeral directors post the details of the funerals they're officiating on their own websites. Online funeral notices have the advantage that they can be updated quickly, and some provide updates via email.

The Web site hosts obituaries and memorials for more than 70 percent of all U.S. deaths. Legacy.com hosts obituaries for more than three-quarters of the 100 largest newspapers in the U.S., by circulation.

To be clear, obituaries are protected by copyright. They are creative works of expression that are fixed into a tangible medium of expression. Both the text and the images that make up an obituary are protected by copyright (even if the facts and information are not).

In 2014 Federal legislation changed the rules for access to the Social Security Death Master File. Records for the most recent 3 years are not available.

Contact Attorney, accountant, financial planner. Inform Social Services or other entitlement/welfare programs. Notify banks and other institutions where the deceased had loans, checking and savings accounts. Change car or recreational vehicle titles by contacting the motor vehicle registration office.
