Michigan(MI) Obituary Notices

Michigan: General Information

This state is called the "fishing state" because it is home to the famous Lake Michigan. In terms of area, Michigan is in eleventh place among the other American states. The state has an area of 250 493 km² and the largest cities are Detroit, Grand Rapids, Warren, Flint and Stirling Heights. The state capital is the city of Lansing.

Agriculture, mining, food processing, and woodworking are the most important sectors of the economy. Thus we can conclude that the vast majority of the country's adult population works in these fields or in those areas that are connected with them.

Michigan: People

While Michigan ranks eleventh in area, the state ranks tenth in population. In 2020 Michigan's population was more than 10 million and more than 98,903 died. This state is also recognized by the huge number of celebrities born here who have become famous not only in the United States, but also outside the states. You know many of them: musicians like Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, Madonna, Donald Byrd, William Loose, Smokey Robinson and many other famous people.

But Michigan is not only famous for its celebrities. The state is also home to a huge number of people, each with their own story to tell. Just search the internet and you'll find all the information you need to know about a public person. With non-public people, everything is somewhat more complicated: about them not so much information in the public domain, but it still is. For example, using search services, you can learn the history of the deceased person and find his obituary.

Obituaries: what they are and how to use them

An obituary is a kind of plaque of a person. Obituaries can be brief or more detailed. As a rule, brief obituaries contain information about the person: sex, name and surname, date of birth and death, place of birth and death, the person's age. In more expanded versions to the basic information is added information about where the person lived, what he did, what was his family and other information.

Such obituaries you can find on our site.

How do I search for an obituary?

Since Michigan is the eleventh largest state in the world, it can still take a long time to find a dead person. It is possible to reduce this time if you build a proper search system right away.

The first thing to pay attention to and that can help you is to have as much accurate data about the person as possible. Naturally, the first and last name is the most important, but you may also need information such as place of residence, place of work and date of death.

Second, you can check available online databases of obituaries. Search engines can help you with this.

A more complicated way is to try to find a newspaper that may have published information about the deceased person. But it is desirable to know the city and even the area where the person lived, to narrow down the search.

There is a way that combines all three: you can go to one of the public libraries in Michigan. Libraries are staffed by professionals who can tell you how to do your search properly. And many libraries have information about people who died more than two centuries ago.

You can use the state filter on this site to find information about people who have died in that state. You can also filter by first and last name, city, and date of death.
