Obituary search requests
The Grosvenor Room of the B&ECPL provides an obituary/death notice search service.
The exact date of death (MONTH, DAY, YEAR) is required.
We can check our local newspapers on microfilm for 5 days after the date of death.
The search fee (per name) is $10 for Erie County residents; $25 for non-Erie County residents. The fee applies if a notice was not published and cannot be found.
A photocopy of the notice will be mailed to you along with an invoice for payment.
Please allow 3 business days for processing.
Helpful tips
There is no guarantee that an obituary article was published. It is more likely that a small, brief “death notice” was published. If found, we will provide this instead.
If you don’t know the exact date of death, see the
Obituary information here.
