America's Obituaries and Death Notices is a resource you can search for free using your Natick Minuteman Library card. It features digital coverage for death notices and obituaries from newspapers and other news services. It is primarily marketed for use to find obituaries and death notices. Dates can go back to 1860, but in most cases coverage for publications is late 20th century to present. Search filters can be used to identify  publications within a state, time period digital coverage is provided, specific date of event, and more. In addition to this coverage, you can choose "Other Products" from the top left shaded menu and choose "USA" to search the same news and date coverage, but coverage in this case is for ALL coverage in the publication versus just the coverage for death events.
