Florida Obituaries

The Indian River County Library Obituary Index is the primary resource for Florida death notices in that area of the state. In order to obtain a copy of the document, you need only send a brief email with the information that would be required to locate the file. A check for two dollars must also be sent, and upon receipt, the photocopy of the record will be mailed.

In modern times, the obituary section of newspapers is so often very standardized, and somewhat bland. The Jacksonville paper, the Florida Times-Union, is unique in that it offers, in addition to standard death notice searches, a single selected obituary from a leading citizen of the community is featured at the top of the newspaper's website.

If you do not know the exact date of a death or when an obituary was published, you may access it on the Marco Island Sun Times using the convenient search option. Current obituaries are listed on the Times’s main Obituary page. The Times covers local news of this Miami suburb.

The Miami Herald, started in 1903, is an award-winning publication serving primarily Miami-Dade but circulating through the States and Latin America. On the main Obituary page, national deaths are reported. A link on the left provides the current day’s notices for residents. One may also search death notices and guest books by surname.

Searching for obituary records for research or curiosity often leads one to major urban newspapers like the Tallahassee Democrat in Florida. Here, you can not only search for death notices by name and date, you can also read and sign guest books for the recently deceased, effectively creating a community of mourners.

The weather may just about always be sunny in Tampa, but life still goes on, which means that our older loved ones will eventually pass away. Remembering the deceased in sunshine of their life is this newspaper's specialty, but yet still remain highly focused around the journalistic standards of reliable information.
