How to Find Obituaries in New Orleans

Families in New Orleans typically publish obituaries in two ways: on the funeral home’s own website or on a third-party platform (such as Legacy.com or Tribute Archive) that the funeral home uses. The 17 funeral homes listed below serve New Orleans and surrounding Orleans Parish communities; each may use a different obituary publisher, so there’s no single place to search.

Timing varies: obituaries often appear 24–72 hours after death, once arrangements are confirmed. Some funeral homes post sooner; others later. Checking each site by hand is slow and easy to miss new postings.

ObituaryMonitor tracks obituary pages from all 17 funeral homes in New Orleans and sends an instant email alert when a name you’re watching appears — so you don’t have to check multiple sites manually.
