To begin, add an obituary record or view a list of locations and resources for Georgia obituaries.

Georgia is a state that has a rich history and a somewhat temperate climate, which makes it a growing retirement destination. It is also a state that has many different resources for looking up obituaries. If you are searching for Georgia obituaries, you can start your search by checking out the website for the Augusta – Richmond Public Library.

They have a free search that has listings from 1981 to present day of announcements from the local Augusta newspaper. The fantastic website GenWeb has obituaries listed from Cherokee County and the state's own Virtual Vault has some very old listings that go back as far as 1919. If you are looking for Georgia obituary records from the southern tip of the state, check out the listings on the website for the Savannah Morning News.

They are in the process of updating all of their listings, but currently you can find listings from 1916 through 1926 and then again from 1987 through 1996. Larger city centers like Atlanta are beginning to get searchable databases but they are still in the process of being put together. Keep checking in with the Atlanta Journal Constitution for updates for the northern part of the state.
