Obituary Requests

If you are searching for an obituary that may have appeared in the Provo Daily Herald, we recommend first searching the Utah Digital Newspapers database which has digital copies of the Daily Herald from 1922-1977.

For obituaries outside of that timeframe, anyone is welcome to come to the Provo City Library and search the microfilm of the Daily Herald on their own. If you are not in the Provo area, visit our Requesting Obituaries page to submit a request for a copy of an obituary.
