Michigan, U.S., Deaths and Burials Index, 1867-1995

This database is an index containing details from more than 1.3 million Michigan death and burial records.

What’s in the Index

Volunteers extracted the death and burial details in this index from microfilmed copies of church, civil, family, and other records of Michigan deaths and burials. Note that the number of available records can vary widely by county, and this database does not necessarily represent a comprehensive set of death records for the state during this time.

Details in the index entries vary depending on the original record, but they may include

• name
• gender
• race
• birth date
• birthplace
• occupation
• residence
• street address
• marital status
• spouse
• date of death
• age at death
• place of death
• place of burial
• date of burial
• cemetery name
• father’s name and birthplace
• mother’s name and birthplace
• FHL film number

The FHL film number refers to a microfilm copy of the source held by the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Because this database includes details extracted from family records, researchers will want to confirm facts with original and primary sources.
