Is there a national listing for obituaries?

Question

I am looking for an obituary from the West Jefferson, N.C., gazette.

Answer 1

For West Jefferson, the Jefferson Post Online edition carries local obituaries. See them at... http://www.jeffersonpost.com/Obits/obit.html
Usually the funeral home asks the family what newspapers they want an obituary in. This may be at an extra charge.
For a national source, use http://www.funeraldepot.com/obits.htm and
