All the text links (other than the advertising links between the purple lines) lead to obituaries, death or funeral notices, mostly from newspapers, but all are free, although some sites may require you to register or allow cookies to be set. Some are for the current day only, some are archived for a week, a month, or more. Also included are death registers.
Please report any broken links, or a change in status, should a site start requesting payment for the full text of an obituary. Also, please send me the URLs for any other sources of obituaries available on-line at no charge.
If I use your links, I'll send you a REAL postcard.
