Using our archives | Obituaries

How to search for an obituary that may have appeared in The State

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING

Full obituaries exist in our archives from 1996 to the present.

• Obituaries for a particular day during this time period exist in two alphabetized lists. The links will read: "SOUTH CAROLINA OBITUARIES: A - L" or "SOUTH CAROLINA OBITUARIES: M - Y".
• Only lists of the deceased are available from 1987 through 1995. If you find a match, but the date of death is during this time period, you cannot retrieve a full obituary.

• If you live in the area: Full archives of all editions of The State are kept at the Richland County Public Library and at the Thomas Cooper Library at the University of South Carolina.
• If you live outside the area: You can request an inter-library loan at your nearest public library for the archives listed above.

For the full text of obituaries from The State not available in Newsbank visit the Richland County Public Library's online obituary index.
