Quick Answer: Where Should You Look First?

Recent Gant Daily obituary

Use the dedicated Gant Daily obituary directory on Legacy. GANT News links to this service from its website.

Current funeral arrangements

Find the original funeral-home memorial and confirm the service, visitation and cemetery details.

Older GANT obituary

Search the GANT News historical obituary category, local newspapers or Clearfield County Historical Society records.

Certified death certificate

Use the Pennsylvania Department of Health. A public newspaper obituary cannot replace a certified death record.

Important distinction: GANT News has an older obituary archive on its website and a separate Gant Daily directory on Legacy. The historical GANT category is not necessarily the newest source for obituary notices.

Where to Find Gant Daily Recent Obituaries

The Gant Daily obituary directory on Legacy provides name searching, publication-date browsing and filters for funeral homes and locations.

GANT News also links to Legacy under its Obituaries menu, which makes the newspaper-specific directory the appropriate starting point for current Gant Daily listings.

Gant Daily obituary directory

Search Gant Daily notices by name and publication period.

Open Gant Daily obituary listings

GANT News publication website

Use the publication’s main website to reach its current obituary link and other local news.

Open GANT News

Older GANT obituary notices

The older GANT News obituary category contains historical local notices, including material published in previous decades.

Search the historical GANT obituary archive

Additional DuBois-area notices

ExploreJefferson publishes local obituaries connected to DuBois, Jefferson County and surrounding areas.

Browse ExploreJefferson obituaries

Check the date: obituary directory pages can contain older results or national “Obituaries in the News” stories. These are not necessarily new Gant Daily notices. Use the actual publication date on each individual result.

Clearfield County and Nearby Communities to Search

Gant Daily coverage extends beyond the borough of Clearfield. A person may be associated with a hometown, former residence, funeral-home location or cemetery in a different community.

Clearfield

Start with Clearfield, Hyde, Lawrence Township and nearby county communities.

DuBois

Search DuBois, Sandy Township, Treasure Lake and nearby funeral-home memorials.

Curwensville

Try Curwensville, Grampian, Pike Township and connected family or cemetery information.

Philipsburg

Philipsburg is in Centre County near the Clearfield County border. Search both local and regional sources when appropriate.

Houtzdale and Osceola Mills

Try Houtzdale, Osceola Mills, Madera, Ramey and surrounding communities.

Western Clearfield County

Search Mahaffey, Westover, Coalport, Luthersburg and nearby towns when a Clearfield-only search fails.

Location matters for legal records: the place where a newspaper publishes a notice does not determine which government holds the death certificate. Pennsylvania records are issued through the state, while an out-of-state death requires the appropriate other state’s office.

Make Sure You Found the Correct Person

Check What to compare When to pause
Full name First name, middle name, maiden name or nickname. An important name detail does not match.
Age and dates Age, birth year and date of death. The result appears to be from a different year.
Family Spouse, children, parents or siblings when listed publicly. Known relatives do not match.
Community Clearfield, DuBois, Curwensville, Philipsburg or other hometown. There is no known local connection.
Funeral home The establishment managing the arrangements. The provider or service location conflicts with reliable information.

Never announce a death based on a search-result snippet alone. Open the full original notice and verify the person before sharing information, sending flowers or making travel arrangements.

How to Verify Funeral and Memorial Service Details

A GANT obituary may mention a funeral home, church, visitation, memorial service or cemetery. These details can change after a notice is first published.

Visitation

Check the date, start and end times, and correct building or entrance.

Funeral or memorial

Confirm the date, time, chapel or church and whether attendance is public.

Graveside service

Check the cemetery’s exact name, town and separate starting time.

Livestream

Use a viewing link from the funeral home, church or family-authorized memorial.

Flowers or memorial gifts

Follow the family’s preferences and verify any nonprofit using its own official website.

Accessibility

Ask the provider about parking, wheelchair access and seating when needed.

What to do after opening a GANT obituary

  1. Read the full notice and identify the handling funeral home.
  2. Open the funeral home’s own website.
  3. Search the deceased person’s name in its obituary section.
  4. Compare visitation, funeral and burial information.
  5. Check whether the service is public or private.
  6. Call the funeral home if details conflict or the service is approaching.
Simple phone script: “I’m checking the public arrangements for [full name]. Could you confirm the service time, address, whether it is public and where the burial will take place?”
Funeral scams: do not pay unexpected fees to view a livestream, reserve attendance or receive funeral details. Confirm unusual payment requests directly with the funeral home using an independently verified number.

How to Submit a Gant Daily Obituary

The Gant Daily obituary listing on Legacy provides a Submit an Obituary route through the publishing service.

Open the Gant Daily Legacy listing. Select the submission link associated with Gant Daily.
Choose the notice format. Follow the available obituary or memorial submission options.
Prepare approved text. Include the person’s name, biography, family-approved details and confirmed funeral information.
Check photographs and permissions. Only upload photos that you have the right to publish.
Verify the publication selection. Confirm the intended publisher, online/print placement if offered, publication date and price.
Proofread before payment. Check every name, date, address and donation instruction. Save the confirmation.

Open Gant Daily’s obituary submission link

Price reminder: the official materials reviewed do not establish one fixed obituary fee for every notice. Check the live submission quote before paying.

Need to correct a published notice?

Contact the original publisher or funeral home that submitted the obituary. Provide the notice URL, the exact error and the family-approved correction.

Correcting a newspaper notice does not change an official Pennsylvania death certificate.

Older Gant Daily Obituaries and Clearfield County Newspaper Archives

The Clearfield County Historical Society maintains a substantial newspaper and genealogy collection at its William B. Alexander V Research Center.

Its holdings are especially useful for local families whose records predate GANT’s digital archives.

Historical newspaper holdings

Newspaper Historical holdings Research value
The Progress, Clearfield 1913–2016 Clearfield-area funeral, community and obituary notices.
Clearfield Republican 1854–1944 Historical Clearfield families and earlier death notices.
Raftsman’s Journal 1854–1934 Nineteenth- and early twentieth-century local history.
Public Spirit 1890–1919 Clearfield-area death and funeral references.
The Daily Journal, Philipsburg 1888–1977 Philipsburg and surrounding communities.
Houtzdale Citizen & Standard 1924–1966 Historic Houtzdale-area obituary research.
Coverage note: these are holdings reported by the Historical Society. A date range does not mean every issue or every death notice exists or is searchable online.

William B. Alexander V Research Center

Clearfield County Historical Society
511 Van Valzah Avenue
Clearfield, PA 16830

The Research Center currently lists seasonal research hours from May through October, Sundays and Thursdays, 1:30–4:30 p.m. Check directly before travelling, particularly near the end of the season.

Current self-guided research costs

$5 research visit

The Historical Society currently lists a $5 fee for a self-guided visit to the Research Center, with volunteer genealogical assistance when available.

25¢ copies

Photocopies are currently listed at 25 cents per page, subject to the Society’s copying policies and copyright restrictions.

More than newspapers

The Historical Society also reports collections containing obituary volumes, cemetery records, hundreds of surname files, family histories, early marriage and death references, local directories and county histories.

How to request help with an older obituary

Write the full name. Add maiden names, initials and alternate spellings if available.
Estimate the death date. Even a five- or ten-year range is helpful for an older notice.
Identify the township or town. Clearfield County has many small communities and historic newspaper titles.
Include family clues. A spouse, child, parent or other known relative can help distinguish similar names.
Choose research method. Visit the center during posted seasonal hours or use the Historical Society’s available research-request instructions.
Save the original citation. Record newspaper title, publication date, page and any associated archive reference.

Clearfield County Historical Society genealogy and research services

Practical search tip: older death notices may appear under “Deaths,” “Funerals,” “Local News” or “Interment” rather than “Obituaries.” Search relatives and dates as well as the deceased person’s name.

Pennsylvania Death Certificates: Cost, Eligibility and Ordering

The Pennsylvania Department of Health issues certified death certificates for deaths registered in the Commonwealth. Statewide death registration began in 1906.

A county courthouse or historical society may help with older records, but it is not the regular issuing office for modern Pennsylvania certified death certificates.

Current Pennsylvania death-certificate fees

Service Current cost What to know
Certified death certificate $20 each Standard Pennsylvania fee regardless of the number ordered.
Online ordering $20 per certificate + $10 processing fee Use the Commonwealth’s authorized online ordering route. Delivery options can affect the final total.
Mail application $20 per copy Pay by check or money order payable to VITAL RECORDS. Do not mail cash.
Historical uncertified copy $5 per certificate For eligible archival records held by the Pennsylvania State Archives; not legal proof.
Multi-year search $45 for one 10-year period Additional 10-year periods are currently $25 each.
Money-saving distinction: if you only need a historical death certificate for genealogy and the Pennsylvania State Archives holds it, an eligible $5 noncertified archival copy may be more appropriate than a $20 certified record.

Two types of Pennsylvania certified death certificates

With medical information

Includes medical details such as cause and manner of death. Commonly needed for certain life-insurance, pension or family-medical-history purposes.

Without medical information

Excludes medical details. May be appropriate for bank-account closure, property title or utility matters. Pennsylvania offers this version for deaths occurring after 2019.

Before choosing: ask the bank, insurer, pension administrator or estate professional which certificate version it will accept. Do not assume one version meets every requirement.

Who can request a certified record?

Pennsylvania requires applicants to meet eligibility rules. Qualifying people can include certain immediate family members, legal representatives, estate executors or administrators, and people with a documented direct financial interest.

Supporting documents may be required, depending on the relationship and purpose.

How to order a death certificate

Confirm the state of death. The record must be for a death registered in Pennsylvania.
Prepare identifying information. Gather the full legal name, approximate date and place of death.
Check eligibility. Review relationship and identification requirements on the Pennsylvania Department of Health website.
Choose the certificate version. Determine whether the receiving institution requires medical information.
Choose online, mail or in-person ordering. Compare current service fees and processing times before applying.
Submit and save confirmation. Keep the order reference and receipt with related estate or benefit paperwork.

Official Pennsylvania ordering methods

Historical Death Records: 1906–1975 and Earlier

Pennsylvania death certificates generally become public after 50 years. The State Archives currently provides historical death-certificate indexes through 1975.

Year of death Best starting source Important detail
Before 1852 Local churches, cemetery records, historical newspapers and family records Civil recording was inconsistent.
1852–1854 Surviving early county and state records Coverage is incomplete.
1893–1905 County Register of Wills / Clerk of Orphans’ Court County death registers can help where available.
1906–1975 Pennsylvania State Archives Public historical indexes and eligible $5 uncertified copies.
More recent deaths Pennsylvania Department of Health Certified copies subject to eligibility restrictions.

How to get an archival certificate

  1. Open the Pennsylvania State Archives death-record indexes.
  2. Choose the approximate death year.
  3. Search the surname in the appropriate alphabetical index.
  4. Record the full name, death year and certificate number when available.
  5. Open the archive-copy request instructions.
  6. Order an uncertified copy for historical research, if appropriate.

The State Archives currently lists $5 per archival certificate. The fee is retained even if the search is unsuccessful.

Digital images for some historical years are also accessible through Ancestry collections, with a Pennsylvania-resident access route described by the State Archives.

Pennsylvania State Archives — Death Records

Order an archival death-certificate copy

Do not confuse archive and legal records. An uncertified historical copy is suitable for genealogical research, not necessarily for insurance, estates or other matters requiring a certified certificate.

How to Find Cemetery and Burial Details

A Gant Daily obituary may list a cemetery, graveside service or burial arrangement. Verify the location through the handling funeral home or the cemetery’s own records.

  1. Open the complete obituary and identify any burial information.
  2. Write down the cemetery’s full name and town.
  3. Confirm whether burial is scheduled, completed or private.
  4. Check the cemetery office or available cemetery register.
  5. For an older burial, use historical society cemetery volumes and newspaper records.
  6. For veterans, check official government cemetery and memorial-benefit sources.
Clearfield County research advantage: the Historical Society maintains multiple volumes of cemetery and obituary records. This is particularly useful for rural and historic graveyards not fully indexed online.

Do not assume that the newest burial will appear immediately in an online cemetery database.

Clearfield County Veterans Burial and Memorial Benefits

Clearfield County has a Veterans Affairs Office that helps veterans and their family members with benefits and funeral-related questions.

Clearfield County Veterans Affairs Office

Clearfield County Administrative Offices
212 East Locust Street
Clearfield, PA 16830

Office hours: Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m.

Veterans Affairs: 814-765-2641, extension 3009.

Clearfield County Veterans Affairs

Benefits families should ask about

VA burial allowance

Eligible applicants may qualify for VA assistance with burial, funeral, plot or transportation expenses, depending on the circumstances of death and benefit rules.

National cemetery burial

Eligible veterans and certain family members may qualify for burial at a VA national cemetery, subject to current eligibility and space availability.

Military honors

Families can ask about burial flags, military funeral honors and a Presidential Memorial Certificate.

Headstones and markers

Some veterans qualify for a government headstone, marker or memorial medallion under VA rules.

Pennsylvania veterans and families may also request assistance from county veterans service officers with discharge-document questions and benefit applications.

VA burial allowances and eligibility

Potential Pennsylvania death-certificate fee waiver

Pennsylvania has a death-certificate fee waiver for qualifying members of the U.S. Armed Forces and eligible spouses, including certain unremarried surviving spouses.

The state’s current rule limits the waiver to 10 copies per applicant per calendar year and requires proof of eligibility.

Local benefit worth checking: if the family meets Pennsylvania’s military service requirements, ask about the death-certificate fee waiver before paying for multiple certified copies.

Official Pennsylvania fee-waiver eligibility

Funeral and Burial Cost Assistance in Clearfield County

The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services may provide payment for burial or cremation on behalf of certain eligible deceased individuals.

Who may qualify?

State guidance identifies categories including:

  • Individuals who received Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
  • People receiving qualifying DHS cash assistance before death.
  • Individuals who were found eligible for cash assistance before death.
  • Certain nursing-home residents meeting special historical eligibility requirements.

The local County Assistance Office decides eligibility. The funeral director must be registered with DHS as a provider to receive payment.

Important: Medicaid coverage alone does not mean every person qualifies for a funeral payment. The state’s program has specific eligibility and provider requirements.

Clearfield County Assistance Office

1025 Leonard Street
Clearfield, PA 16830

Telephone: 814-765-7591
Toll-free: 800-521-9218

Office hours currently listed: Monday–Friday, 7:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m.

Pennsylvania DHS burial and cremation payment program

What to ask before making funeral arrangements

  1. Was the deceased receiving an eligible benefit before death?
  2. Which county office should review the application?
  3. What documents must the family or funeral director provide?
  4. Is the selected funeral director registered to receive DHS payment?
  5. What expenses may be approved?
  6. Could another benefit, insurance payment or estate resource affect eligibility?
Money-saving first step: contact the County Assistance Office and funeral provider before assuming a family will be reimbursed. DHS generally pays approved registered funeral providers, not an unrestricted cash grant to families.

Verify a Pennsylvania Funeral Home and Understand Your Rights

The Pennsylvania State Board of Funeral Directors regulates licensed funeral directors and relevant funeral businesses.

Verify a funeral professional or business

Open Pennsylvania’s license-verification service. Use the official Department of State website.
Search the provider’s exact name. Add the town if the name is common.
Compare the listing. Review available license details, status and disciplinary history.
Resolve conflicts. Contact the licensing agency if the record does not match the funeral provider.

Pennsylvania official license verification

Funeral price and consumer protections

Ask for prices by phone

Under the FTC Funeral Rule, a funeral provider must give price information by telephone when asked.

Get a General Price List

When discussing arrangements or prices in person, request the written itemized price list to keep.

Choose individual services

You generally have the right to choose only the goods and services you want instead of an unwanted package.

Ask about third-party charges

Confirm cemetery, crematory, transportation, obituary, clergy and other outside costs separately.

FTC Funeral Rule and price protections

Need to make a complaint?

Pennsylvania’s State Board of Funeral Directors provides regulation and disciplinary oversight. Keep copies of contracts, receipts, communication and the specific complaint details.

Common Gant Daily Obituary Search Mistakes

Using only GANT’s old category

Open its Legacy obituary directory for newspaper-specific browsing, and use the historical category for older notices.

Assuming every result is current

Check actual publication dates rather than relying on the directory heading.

Searching only Clearfield

Try DuBois, Curwensville, Philipsburg and other communities when appropriate.

Ordering the wrong record

Certified state records and historical uncertified archival copies serve different purposes.

Overlooking old newspapers

The Historical Society has local papers reaching back to the nineteenth century.

Assuming assistance is guaranteed

DHS funeral payments and VA benefits are subject to eligibility, documentation and program conditions.
