Obituaries: Searching for Obituaries
Searching Obituaries
You may have noticed that our obituaries section has changed online a few times over the last 10+ years. We know that this can be a bit challenging when trying to find a specific obituary from the past. We hope that the following information will prove helpful in your search.
Present back through March 2010
Since March 2010, obituaries were moved back to our main website. We are no longer using Legacy to host our obituaries. To find an obituary between the present and March 2010, please use our search box or by reviewing the obituaries by page in our obituaries section.
March 2010 back through April 2006
Obituaries published between April 2006 and March 2010 were hosted using a paid service called Legacy. We discontinued this service in March 2010. All obituaries should still be available on this website. Guestbooks will continue to be hosted here, if they were sponsored. All purchase requests should go through Legacy. To access these obituaries click here and use their search engine.
April 2006 back through July 1998
If you are searching for an obituary online that was published between July 1998 and April 2006, you can access these by visting our old website here (http://old.thedailystar.com)
July 1998 and older
Obituaries older than July 1998 are not available online. Please contact our newsroom at obits@thedailystar.com for assistance.
