Obtaining Kent County Obituaries: There are basically two ways to obtain copies of obituaries from the microfilmed newspaper archives at the Grand Rapids Public Library. The first way, using the WMGS obituary service, requires that you have the exact name and date of the obituary, as published in the WMGS obituary indices. The second way is for researchers who don't have the name and date from the obituary index, and involves going through the traditional WMGS research service.
