Obituary Archives

Obituaries and death notices are available on the day of publication.

Or, our Stacks research staff can make a microfilm copy for you for $12 per copy if you have an exact date that a death notice ran in the newspaper. You may contact them by telephone at 404-526-5668 or 1-800-756-4197. E-mail: stacks@ajc.com

Some other registration tips:

• Enter a valid email address.
• Do not use dashes or spaces when inputting credit card numbers; use only numbers.
• User Name must be at least six characters long, but not more than 15, with no spaces or special characters.
• Password must be at least six characters long, but not more than 15, with no spaces or special characters.
• Be sure to click on the box that says "Click here to accept terms and conditions".

Searching our Stacks obituary archive, however, may aid you in locating a particular obituary or notice if you do not have complete information. Finding a recent notice or obituary in the Stacks obituary archive can provide you with the date that the notice appeared and make it possible for you to go to that particular date in the ajc.com/obits database and retrieve the notice for free.

To comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, effective April 21, 2000, which applies to the online collection of personal information from children under 13, we have implemented the practice of asking for the age of the customer. This information is used to validate that the customer is allowed to register and is not kept anywhere in our customer records.

To safeguard against fraudulent charges on a credit card, we ask for complete billing information to verify that the credit card number and the contact information match what the credit card companies have on record.

By reviewing the word count, you have more information to determine if the obituary is one which you would like to purchase. The word count, which is an estimate based on the actual character count, tells you whether the article is the length of a news obituary listing, an article or lengthy family-placed death notice.

A debit card looks like a credit card, but works more like a check. Using a credit card is like taking out a loan. Credit card companies allow you to dispute a charge that is unfamiliar while they or you check out the charge. With a debit card your money is deducted directly from your bank account. Consumer protections for debit cards are not the same as for credit cards, which is why we request a credit card online for the safety of our customers. Although we do not deny debit card authorizations because their use is common, we recommend using a credit card for any online purchase. The Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) protects you if you believe an accounting error has occurred or if a thief uses your card. Contact your financial institution.
