After the records kept by government offices were said to be open for public viewing they have become an invaluable source of information. It is now possible to be able to retrieve public records of deceased people by going to the relevant places. Since the filing of these records is decentralized there is no single government institution that you can go to and access all the information that you need.
Whilst being allowed to view it is now free, accessing is not as simple as it sounds. You could be fortunate to know the area that the person passed away in. In this case it's a matter of simply writing or going to the government offices in that state and request that they supply you with a copy of the record.
Complications arise when the person died in a state different from the one that you are staying in. Getting the information will take time. It's even more complex if you do not know where the person died and you just want to know if they are dead or not. In this case you would have to go through all the public records of deceased people of the entire country.
The situation is not as gloomy as it sounds, as there is an easier and faster option that I'm sure you would prefer. There are websites that have been established whose sole purpose has been compiling a national data base of records. They have made use of the government records and private sources as well.
The information they have is more reliable and is updated regularly. It's more widespread and you will be able to access the public records of deceased people much faster than any other mentioned above.
