The Brighton Obituary Index is a list of obituary and death notice entries from all existing Brighton Argus and Livingston County Daily Press and Argus newspapers covering the years 1880-current. See the list of available issues at newspaper holdings. Please note: the full text obituary or death notice is not yet available on our website. Obituaries or death notices may be requested by mail, phone or e-mail. Include your postal mailing address. Obituary/death notice requests are limited to 3 per month and 10 per year.

Search Tips:
  • You may search multiple fields at once. This is the most specific way to search, however if you are not getting the results you expect, put in less information and try again.
  • All searches sort by date of death going from oldest to most recent
  • If unsure of spelling or comlete name, put in partial last name and first initial of deceased.
  • Mother, father and spouse searches should be in lastname, firstname format. If unsure of spelling or complete name, put in just last name. NOTE: THIS INFORMATION HAS ONLY BEEN ENTERED SINCE 2001. Earlier records may not have mother, father or spouse names.
  • To do a search for all obituaries in a specific year, type ??-??-yyyy (i.e. ??-??-2001).
