Finding Rhode Island obituaries online can be tough, but there are a few hard working individuals out there who are trying to make the process a bit easier. Unlike a lot of larger states, Rhode Island only has a small handful of sites dedicated to digitizing old listings. You can start your search for Rhode Island obituary records by checking the website for the Historical Cemeteries Master Index site.
This archive not only stores death certificates and burial places, but it also has obits on a regular basis, as well. The West Warwick Public Library is leading the charge in America's smallest state to have the most listings available for any library in the state. The listings come from two newspapers, the Pawtuxet Valley Daily Times and the Kent County Daily Times.
You can expect to find listings from the last few decades here. Other than these two resources, the pickings are slim in this state. You can check other major newspaper websites throughout the state, or check the websites for various public libraries in the towns where your loved one passed away. You may also want to check city hall or the local cemeteries to see if there is an offline resource you can check.
