Is there a search engine to locate a recent newspaper obituary if you don't know what newspaper it is in?

Question

I only find ones that search through old obituaries and those aren't very good.

Answer 1

Legacy.com has many, many obits and guestbooks from the past year. A Google search may also help.

Answer 2

The method I use is go to www.google.com and put in the first and last name along with obituary.

Ancestry has a subscription for old newspapers, which is great and are searchable.

Answer 3

I recently had a similar problem. I googled the deceased's name. Maybe add the day of death or where they lived to the search though. It worked for me. Depending on how far back it was. Some newspapers make you purchase this information. I found what I was looking for but after 30 days, it needed to be purchased.
