NOTES:
1. October, November, and December deaths may not have been published until the following year.
If you search by year, you should search both years.

2. Do not assume the displayed month/year is the month/year of death. The 'Date of Death' date displayed may represent the published month or year, and some displayed month/year data are know to be inaccurate.  If you believe a record is the one you are researching, you are encouraged to view the actual obituary on file with JUF (online if possible), other online obituary service, or the funeral home indicated.  

Question: Can I search for family and other names that are in the obituary notice?

Answer: Yes.  Select the obituary database and enter the name in the 'Notes-1' search field.  NOTE: You do not have to select a database.

Question: My search resulted in a large number of records with the name or names in the obituaries I'm searching.   How can I search a displayed list of obituaries to find the name or names I'm looking for?

Answer: Most browsers have a search feature. Use the browser help features for details. 

However, many broswers use COMMAND KEY + F to allow searching.
Below is an example using the Firefox browser.   To find the next instance of the name hit 'return' and the next name instance will be highlighted.
