Death is the irreversible cessation of life. It becomes difficult for you when a loved one dies. If you were not present during the burial and for some reason cannot find out the date of the person's death, then do not worry. There are several ways to find out.
Instructions
Step 1
Try to find detailed information about the deceased person, such as full name, date of birth, etc. With such data, you have a better chance of finding out the date of interest. Interview relatives or friends of the deceased person. Perhaps they will answer your question. Browse the family archive. Look at letters, diaries and various entries - this can help find the date of death of the deceased.
Step 2
Remember that there is no unnecessary information. The stamped death certificate contains all the necessary information that you need. A person is presumed dead on the basis of a medical death certificate and a court decision. In this case, the date of entry into force of the court decision will be considered the date of death.
Step 3
Take on the study of the cemetery archive. In it, as usual, the surname and the exact place of burial are indicated. To do this, you need to contact the cemetery administration. This method will help if you know the name and location of the cemetery where the person was buried. Any cemetery keeps archives on burials. You will receive an extract from the archive, which will mark the quarter of the cemetery with the grave in question. You need to go to the right quarter and inspect all the graves.
Step 4
Find the grave of a buried person. As a rule, the date of birth and death of the deceased is indicated on the monument. If this option is not suitable, then you can search in the archives of the local library. It is possible that they have the information you need.
Step 5
Look through the obituaries columns in the newspaper or seek the help of the civil registry office. If your attempts were not successful, then contact the services of a company that deals with such issues. Its specialists will be able to help you. Information about these companies can be found on the Internet or asked from friends and acquaintances. Maybe they will recommend you a reliable company for a similar service.
