Everything you need to know about ObituaryMonitor

We use multiple data points to ensure high accuracy: full name matching, location verification, age estimation, and even relative names when available. We only notify you when confidence is 90% or higher, which significantly reduces false positives. Most users report accuracy rates above 95%.

Our system scans sources continuously, 24/7. Most obituaries are detected within 24-48 hours of being published online. You'll receive an email and text message as soon as we find a match, typically within minutes of detection.

At minimum, you need the person's first and last name. However, adding their city, state, and approximate age range significantly improves matching accuracy. You can also add known relatives to further reduce false positives.

Absolutely. Your watch list is encrypted and stored securely. We never share your data with third parties, and only you can see who you're monitoring. We take privacy extremely seriously.

We monitor over 2,500 obituary sources including funeral home websites, newspaper obituary sections, memorial sites, and public death records. We continuously add new sources to improve coverage across the United States.

Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time with no questions asked. Your account will remain active until the end of your billing period, and you won't be charged again.

When you confirm a match, the associated watch is archived and your slot becomes available for a new person. This ensures you're not using a slot for someone who has already been found. You'll still have access to all confirmed match history.

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee for new subscribers. If you're not satisfied with the service within the first 30 days, contact our support team for a full refund.
