Hi Jeanine,

I'm fairly sure they are still doing obits - let us know if you find out
differently, please...

This will tell how to order if you live in California *OR* if you don't!

For all things San Francisco - this is you site!

Then scroll down to:

Newspaper Obituaries/Death Notices Lookup at SF Main Library 2 Feb
The San Francisco Main Library has many old San Francisco newspapers on
microfilm. California residents may write or e-mail them to request a
lookup at no charge. (They are no longer processing obituary lookups for
patrons residing outside of California.) They will check up to 6 days after
the death date. There is a limit of three lookup requests at one time. You
MUST provide the exact date of death.
For regular mail requests, provide a name and exact date of death, and
include a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Mail your request to:
San Francisco Public Library, Main Branch
5th Floor Newspaper Center
Larkin & Grove Streets
San Francisco, CA 94102
For e-mail requests, provide a name and exact date of death, and include
your own mailing address. E-mail the message to:
