Is there a resource for Atlantic Canada obituaries?

Question

I use newspapers.com and search the web in general. Newpapers.com doesn't see to have obituaries past Ontario.

Aside from subscribing to individual newspapers, is there a resource for Atlantic Canada obituaries similar to newspapers that I'm unaware of?

Answer 1

If you're on Facebook, check out the group Obituary Lookups Canada.

Answer 2

For NS obituaries if you contact the Nova Scotia  Archives they will help you.    I have used them several times for obits.

Answer 3

It depends on the dates you are looking for.

Newspaper.com has a few from Halifax newspapers for Nova Scotia before 1930 and after 2005.

Obituaries from 1992 to 1998 from the Halifax Chronicle Herald Newspapers for Nova Scotia can be found on Dwayne Meisner website https://www.dwaynemeisner.com/index.php, as well as an index of obituaries from 1960 to 1991.

Some obituaries can be found on the website Nova Scotia Obituaries http://www.rjoudrey.ca/nsobits/index.php.

New Brunswick Telegraph Journal has an archive of New Brunswick newspaper with an subscription.  This includes Saint John and Moncton newspapers plus a few others.

The Group NsCumber https://groups.io/g/nscumber has been posting Cumberland County, Nova Scotia obituaries for the last 20 years or so, plus other ones that members have posted.  They have an archive of all messages.

You might have some luck with Obit Magnet or Seventh Day Adventist Obituary Index, and certainly the Canada Obituaries on Cyndi's List.
