Funeral home records vary greatly in the information they contain. Some give details about the deceased, such as the date and place of death, burial, and birth; names of parents, spouse, and other family members; maiden name; religion; and name(s) of the person(s) paying the funeral expenses. A funeral home record may include a biography or obituary and the names and residences of surviving relatives. Morticians frequently file the death certificate and a copy of the obituary published in newspaper(s) as requested by the family. | Funeral home records vary greatly in the information they contain.
