How would I find a death record?

Question

I live in Arizona and I am looking for a death record that is New Orleans, does anyone know a website where i could possibly find it?

Answer 1

See if there is a county website for the county the individual died in. You can, in most states, order a copy of the certificate on line for a fee of course. Good Luck!

Answer 2

Call the county court house in New Orleans.  They can send you a copy of the death record for a small fee.  

Additional:  You could always go on the internet and do a search for the newspaper in the town he lived in, and check the obituaries.  Most newspapers have an archive section in the obits too.  I hope you don't find his name in there!  Good luck!

Answer 3

Most doubtedly, you would not be able to locate those records online. Most all county or parish clerks require you to be present (as I had to get a copy of my mother's death certificate last week) and fill out a form- not to say that some states could be different- but you may have to go there to take care of that business.

Answer 4

Check with the New Orleans PD, coroners office, or newspapers.
