Obituary Research Requests

If you do not live in Brevard County but wish our library staff to do an obituary search for you, here is the procedure to follow:

If you do not know the newspaper or publication date, the library staff will do a search for you. First, check Obituary Research in Brevard County (NOTE: THE LINK IS http://www.brev.org/about_bcl/reference/obit_research_brevard.htm) to be sure that we have the appropriate newspaper for your search. For a search, send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to the address below. Enclose $2.00 to cover the cost of the copies. Include the name of the deceased, the city of death, and the date of death within two weeks. Most of the newspapers on microfilm do not have indexes, and staff cannot conduct and extensive search for you without this information.

If you know the newspaper name, date of publication and the page number, send stamped, self-address envelope to the address below. Please enclose $2.00 to cover the cost of the copies. Include the name of the deceased, newspaper name, date of publication and page number.

Send your letter to:
