Definition

What is deceased screening?

A Screening Report is a one-time deceased screening of a US customer list. You send the list, and we return found, possible_match, or not_found for every row, with the source obituary link for each match.

FAQ

Screening questions.

How is it priced?

Each report is quoted on list size and look-back period. Talk to sales.

What do I need to send?

First and last name, plus at least one of city, county, state, or birth year per row. More detail means fewer possible matches.

Is this a consumer report?

No. ObituaryMonitor is not a consumer reporting agency, and Service output is not a consumer report. Do not use it to determine or influence eligibility for employment, housing, credit, insurance, a license, a government benefit, or any other purpose regulated by the U.S. Fair Credit Reporting Act (or similar laws), or to take adverse action against a person.

Do I get a PDF report and audit trail?

Yes. Along with the CSV, you can get a PDF report, an audit log of the screening, and Negative Search Certificates documenting that no matching obituary was found for a name. A negative result is not proof of life.

Can I keep watching afterwards?

Yes. Use ongoing watches on the Verification API, or Monitoring for smaller lists.
