Agreement to these terms
By using thepassings.com or our monitoring service (the “Service”), you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
If you use the Service for a business or organization, you confirm that you are allowed to accept these terms on its behalf.
What the Service does
The Service checks publicly available obituary sources, such as funeral home websites, newspapers and memorial sites, for names you add, and sends you an email when a likely match is found.
The Service is a helpful tool, not an official record. It does not provide death certificates, legal advice or official proof of death.
No guarantee of coverage
We work hard to check as many sources as we can, but we cannot guarantee that every obituary will be found, or found by a certain time. Some deaths never have a public notice, some sources are not available to us, and matches can occasionally be wrong.
You should always confirm an alert yourself, and use official records where proof of death is needed.
Your account
- You must be at least 18 years old to create an account.

You agree to use the Service lawfully and respectfully. You must not:
- Use the Service to harass, stalk or harm anyone.
- Use alerts for any unlawful purpose, including unlawful debt collection practices.

Free access and account approval
The Passings currently offers one free account with monitoring for up to 10 names. No payment method is requested and there are no recurring charges.
Every new account request must be approved by an admin before monitoring begins. We may decline or suspend requests to protect the service, users and people on watch lists. We will notify you by email when a decision is made.
For questions about charges made under an earlier plan, contact us using the details on our account and past charges policy.
Third party content and links
Alerts link to notices published by others, such as funeral homes and newspapers. We do not control that content and are not responsible for its accuracy or availability.
Our content
The website, its design, text and software belong to The Passings. You may use them only to use the Service as intended.
Limitation of liability
The Service is provided “as is”. To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential losses, or for losses caused by a missed, late or incorrect alert. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. We will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page, and for important changes we will let you know by email or on the website. If you keep using the Service after a change, you accept the updated terms.
