Add the people you would want to know about.
IfTheyDie quietly monitors public obituary and memorial sources, so you do not have to keep searching every few years to see if someone from your past has passed away.
- Private by default
- Your watchlist is yours. Names you monitor are not public.
- Add once, stop wondering
- Keep track of old friends, exes, former coworkers, estranged relatives, or anyone you would want to know about.
- Review before you believe it
- We show likely matches with source links, confidence scores, and details to review before anything is treated as confirmed.

Safety note
Possible matches are never treated as confirmed deaths until you review the evidence.
For the people you still wonder about.
Not every relationship stays connected. People move, drift apart, lose touch, fall out, or disappear into a past version of your life.
But sometimes you would still want to know.
IfTheyDie gives you a private place to add those names once and let them go from your mental checklist.
Add once. We'll keep watch.
Death notices are scattered across funeral homes, obituary sites, memorial pages, and local publications. IfTheyDie checks public sources for likely matches and gives you a simple review process when something appears.
Step 1
Add a person to your private watchlist.
Include details that help avoid false matches, such as age, last known location, relatives, notes, or aliases.
Step 2
We monitor public sources.
If a likely obituary or memorial notice appears, we flag it for review.
Step 3
You review the evidence.
See the source, match reasons, and confidence score before deciding whether it is the same person.
Built for a sensitive kind of knowing.
Death information is personal, emotional, and sometimes uncertain. IfTheyDie is designed to be quiet, private, and careful.

We flag possible matches. You decide what is confirmed.
