1. Online Resources:
* Ouest-France: This regional newspaper is a great starting point. Visit their website and search for "avis de décès" (death notices) in Nantes. They often have a dedicated section for obituaries.
* Le Pays Nantais: Similar to Ouest-France, Le Pays Nantais is another local newspaper that publishes obituaries.
* Funéraire.net: This website lists obituaries for various regions in France, including Nantes.
* Facebook: Search for local funeral homes in Nantes or the town where the deceased person lived. Many funeral homes post obituaries and memorial information on their Facebook pages.
2. Local Funeral Homes:
* Call or visit funeral homes in Nantes. They often keep records of recent obituaries and may be able to provide you with information.
3. Local Libraries or City Hall:
* While not as common as online resources, some libraries or city halls may maintain records of obituaries.
Tips:
* Have specific information: If you know the deceased person's name, date of death, or address, it will greatly improve your chances of finding the obituary.
* Use both French and English keywords: Search in French ("avis de décès," "nécrologie") as well as English ("obituary," "death notice").
Remember:
* Some obituaries may be behind paywalls or require a subscription.
* Information about the deceased person's family may not be included in obituaries.
