HINTS
ON USING THE INDEXES:
Use your web browser's FIND feature to search
for a particular name.
NOTE: The dates listed in the obituary file
are the dates the obituary was
published,
not the date of death.
If a name is listed more than once in
the index, it means that there is an obituary available from
two
different papers or the same paper two different times.
NDA or ??? following the name means "No date
available." Sometimes obituaries were
turned into PCGS with no citation information (such as the
date the obit was published and the name
of the paper that it came from). The obituary itself is still
available to be copied for you.

Index updated

We
ask for a $5 payment for each obit when the search is done
by our research department.
If you come into our facility and do the work yourself,
the cost will only be 25 cents per page.
Arranged
by first letter of last name. Please click on the letter
of the file you need.
Please be patient as the pages load up. There are many
names listed.

--To request
a copy of an obituary in our index, please contact the
research department
of PCGS at info@pcgsmo.com with the name and date
listed.
Payment is required before receipt of obituary.
*For your information: SASE
is a self-addressed stamped envelope.
If
you request a copy of
an obituary that is already listed in our index, you may
go ahead and send your $5 payment
with a SASE to speed up the process.
--To request a copy of an obituary not
listed, please contact the research department
and they will let you know the procedure for receiving a
copy or copies.
For more information, see
here.
Presently our information database contains death records
and obituaries on people
who have lived in Southwest Missouri - most within 50 miles
of Polk County, Missouri.
Some of the obituaries are from Ventura, CA newspapers--aka
"Little Bolivar."
