Obituaries are published by funeral homes, newspapers, and online obituary platforms, and there is no single national obituary database. If you're trying to locate an obituary or confirm whether someone has passed away, see our guides on how to find an obituary, how to know if someone died, and how long after death an obituary is posted. You can also review our obituary statistics and publishing guide to understand where obituaries are published and how the process works.

How to Find Obituaries in Ohio
Obituaries in Ohio are published in two main places: on funeral home websites and on third-party memorial sites (such as Legacy.com, Tribute Archive, or Dignity Memorial). Many funeral homes host obituaries on their own site; others use a single platform across multiple locations. There is no one central list — each funeral home chooses its own publisher.
Coverage varies by county and city. Some counties have dozens of funeral homes that publish obituaries online; others have fewer or use different platforms. That’s why a single search or one website rarely shows every obituary in Ohio. Browsing by county or by city (see below) helps you see which funeral homes serve each area and where their obituaries appear.
Manual searching doesn’t scale: checking multiple funeral home sites one by one is time-consuming, and obituaries can appear 24–72 hours after death (or later). If you need to know when a specific name is published, you’d have to revisit each site repeatedly.
Instead of checking multiple funeral home websites, ObituaryMonitor tracks them automatically. We monitor obituary pages from funeral homes across Ohio and nationwide, and send you an instant email alert when a name you’re watching appears — so you don’t have to search manually.
