Public Domain Obituaries (pre-1929)

Volunteers Needed

This is a new project for Mississippi and we hope to make it a success by getting many local newspapers & funeral homes involved.

Ways You Can Help

You can help us by submitting a letter to the publisher of any local Mississippi Newspaper and get permission for current obits to be published. A sample letter can be found here.

Copyright Law:

The Mississippi Obituary Project will abide by today's copyright laws. Obituaries published after December 31, 1929, unless:

• you were the original author of the obituary
• the newspaper in question grants permission to reprint the obituary
• the obituary is that of a family member (you must give the relation)
• you submit an abstract of your obituaries. A good abstract might give the paper's name, name of deceased, age, date of death, and date that the obituary appears in the paper (in parenthesis). Do you currently receive a Mississippi Newspaper? If so you too could be part of this project by helping us create Abstract Obituaries from current data.
