New Mexico is a fast growing state thanks to one of the most beautiful landscapes in the country. If you are in search of New Mexico obituaries, the Internet is a great place to start your search. There are two major online resources that anyone from anywhere in the world can tap into, starting with the state wide New Mexico USGenWeb site.

USGenWeb is a massive collection of state and regional websites that chronicle births, deaths and the intricate web of genealogy from one end of the country to the other. You will be able to find not only obits here but also death records and other information pertaining to current and past residents of The Land of Enchantment. There is also a separate Curry County NMGenWeb site that you can visit that has listings specifically from the Clovis News-Journal Newspapers from all the way back in 1912 to present day.

This is one of the most comprehensive collections in the nation, however, it only features listings from this general area and may not be much help to those looking for records from the other side of the state. Currently, these are the two biggest resources for those looking for New Mexico obituary records.
