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. 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. Please include your postal mailing address.

• 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.
• Results sort by date of death, going from oldest to most recent.
• If you are unsure of spelling or complete name, put in a partial last name and first initial.
• Mother, father, and spouse searches should be in lastname, firstname format. If you are unsure of spelling or complete name, put in just the last name. Earlier records may not have mother, father, or spouse names.
• To do a search for all obituaries in a specific year, type ??/??/yyyy (e.g. ??/??/2001).
