How to Find Obituaries in Wilkes Barre
Families in Wilkes Barre 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 15 funeral homes listed below serve Wilkes Barre and surrounding Luzerne County 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.
