Obituary Searches
Library staff can perform an obituary search in the local newspaper if provided a name and an exact date of death. Note that not all deaths are mentioned in the newspaper, in either obituaries or death notices. Obituaries are submitted (and paid for) by surviving family members (or other associates of the deceased) at their own discretion.
Please Note: Special Collections has a standard charge of $10 for obituary requests, which includes up 30 minutes of staff time to work on the request. This service includes up to 10 pages of copies for personal use only. We do our best to fill requests in a timely manner, though Special Collections has limited hours and staffing. We are generally unable to respond to requests Friday through Sunday or after hours.
Please contact the librarian either by phone, e-mail, or fill out the form below to submit a request for an obituary. You do not need a Haverhill Public Library card to submit a request.
