For law firms, collectors, investigators, and insurance teams
Ongoing obituary monitoring — with documentation when a match is found.
Professionals often need to confirm whether someone has passed away, but obituary data is fragmented across thousands of sources. Manual searching is unreliable and time-consuming.
Submit a name. We continuously monitor obituary sources and generate verification reports when a match is found.
Need programmatic lookups from your CRM or batch workflow instead? See the Verify API → — separate from monitoring plans below.

How professional teams use obituary monitoring
- Probate and estate counsel track parties across fragmented publishers when diligence packets need credible, repeatable checks.
- Collections programs batch-monitor debtor portfolios to stop contact and route accounts to estate workflows with less manual searching.
- Insurance operations watch policyholder cohorts when early notification reduces backlog and unclaimed-benefit risk.
- Investigators confirm live vs. deceased status before expensive field work and keep source links with the case file.
- Compliance stakeholders retain timestamps and exports when audits ask what was searched, when, and across which sources.
Why ObituaryMonitor is different
- Continuous monitoring across a broad set of obituary publishers—not a one-off search.
- Coverage breadth aligned with how funeral homes and aggregators actually publish.
- Verification-oriented alerts and exports for professional diligence workflows.
Most obituaries appear within a few days of death, but delays and gaps are common. Continuous monitoring reduces the risk of missing something time-sensitive.
Problems this solves
When someone reads this and thinks “that’s my file,” the next step is documentation — not another Google search.
- Accounts that go silent with no confirmation of death
- Probate matters where death must be verified on the record
- Returned mail / no-contact situations
- Insurance beneficiary verification
- Locating estates and next of kin
- Due diligence and compliance documentation
- Skip tracing deceased subjects
- High-stakes timing windows (claims, deadlines, field work)
The workflow (not just a search box)
Professionals buy process reliability. Monitoring means continuous checks; verification means confidence; documentation means you can show your work.

- Verify API for CRM/batch lookups (separate product)
Why firms use automated death verification
Teams compare us to staff manually checking sites, Google Alerts, and a patchwork of databases. Here’s why automation wins on risk and ROI.
- →Staff manually checking obituary sites is inconsistent and hard to audit.
- →Google Alerts misses many funeral-home-first obituaries and is not a diligence system.
- →Proof of due diligence requires timestamps and documentation — not a bookmark folder.
- →Continuous monitoring reduces missed death notices during the window that matters.
- →Exportable reports support court, compliance, and internal QA requirements.
- →Lexis/CLEAR/TLO-style tools solve different problems; obituary publication is fragmented across thousands of publishers.
