How to Find Obituaries in Seattle

Families in Seattle 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 22 funeral homes listed below serve Seattle and surrounding King 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.

ObituaryMonitor tracks obituary pages from all 22 funeral homes in Seattle and sends an instant email alert when a name you’re watching appears — so you don’t have to check multiple sites manually.
