How to Add a New Deceased Record from the Deceased Module

Step 1

Step 2

Hover over "Deceased" on the left side menu and click "Search Deceased"

Step 3

You will now see an orange circle with a plus sign in the bottom right corner of the page. Click this button to start adding a new deceased record.

Step 4

Name, Dates and Location fields appear on the page to allow for quicker entry later. Only Last Name and Status are required to create a new record. Click "Create Deceased" to add a new deceased record without a location.

Assigning a Location to a Deceased Record

If you added the new deceased record without a location by accident or want to assign the location after the fact, please see the knowledge base article on assigning a location to the record.

Step 5

Once you’ve assigned the deceased a location and are ready to set the status as buried, go to the full deceased record and update the status to Buried. If you are using our public burial search tool, a decedent needs to have the status set at “Buried” to be searchable. If you wish to hide a decedent from your public search, you can mark the deceased record as confidential.
