Funeral programs are invaluable historical documents that offer rich insights into our ancestors’ lives. They often include biographical information, family connections, dates, and locations, and serve as a unique record of an individual’s life. The programs contained in the Funeral Programs Collection, typically created at the time of death, preserve crucial data cherished by genealogists and family researchers, enhancing their understanding of personal histories.

This collection aims to provide accessible resources for individuals researching their genealogy and family history. It includes online access to digitized images from funeral programs, obituary details, and burial locations. The project is ongoing, with programs organized alphabetically by the deceased’s name to help researchers easily find relevant information.

Funeral programs also offer insight into the makeup of a community and reflect broader historical patterns. By preserving the lives of individuals who may not be documented in other public records, these programs help create a more comprehensive historical narrative.
