New Orleans (Orleans Parish) Louisiana
Obituaries


Obituaries (also referred to as death notices, funeral notices, etc.) may provide dates and places of death, places of interment, next of kin, and other essential genealogical data.

The primary index of New Orleans obituaries (650,000+ names) was initiated by the New Orleans Public Library's City Archives & Special Collections and was completed with the assistance of The Historic New Orleans Collection. The index, which covers 1804 to 1972, is available here: Louisiana Biography & Obituary Index

An obituary index (primarily to The Times-Picayune) that covers the period 1972-2011, can be found here:

The City Archives of the NOPL will make a copy of an obituary for a small fee. See:
