Every industry is affected by death, yet there has never been a reliable, centralized and accessible way to confirm that someone has passed away. VerifyDeceased was created to close that gap.
Verify death. Prevent fraud. Protect families.
VerifyDeceased came out of 30 million+ obituaries and one problem we could not stop running into. Here is how we got here.
Our team set out to find inheritance related real estate and connect heirs of estates with professionals who could help them. Doing that well meant one unglamorous habit: reading obituaries, every single day, in every state.
Somewhere past the twenty millionth record, the same story kept repeating. A person passes away. Their bank, their employer, their insurer and their lender carry on as if nothing happened, because nobody tells them.
Official death files can take months to surface a passing. In that silence a card gets opened in the deceased person's name, a pension keeps paying, a claim gets filed, or a grieving family gets a collections call about someone they just buried.
90 days of silence is all a fraudster needs.
We already had the people, the sources and the daily process. VerifyDeceased puts that behind an API and a file upload, running on the same data engine as LeadCruncher and its 160 million property records.
Our data set covers people who have passed away whether or not they owned real estate, which is the point where most other sources stop.
Name, date of birth, date of death and age, confirmed before the record is released to you.
Last known address on file even when the person never owned a home, which is where most deceased data sets fall short.
Heirs, surviving spouses and next of kin contact details can be appended where you have a permissible purpose for them.
Death related identity theft is one of the fastest growing financial crimes in the United States. In the first three months after someone passes away there is often no publicly available confirmation of their death, which leaves families vulnerable and institutions exposed.
A stolen identity is used to pass onboarding and payroll checks at a real employer.
New lines are opened in the name of someone who cannot dispute them or answer a fraud call.
Existing accounts are drained or repurposed before the estate is settled.
Payments keep flowing to a person who is no longer alive to receive them.
This causes real financial loss for businesses and real emotional harm for families. Death Verifier provides the confirmation needed to stop that fraud before it starts.
Our goal is to give industries verification tools they can trust, protect families, and bring clarity to a problem that touches every sector of the economy.
Every record is confirmed before release and every match carries a confidence score, so you always know how much weight to put on it.
Clear per record pricing, no minimums, a published security posture and a documented account of where our data comes from.
More than a decade of obituary research turned into a verification engine you can call from a file upload or a single API request.
Buying data is a trust decision. Here is everything a procurement or third party risk team normally has to dig for, in one place.
A product of LeadCruncher, an established United States data platform.
A real, staffed United States address, published on our contact page.
Hosting, processing and backups all stay within US regions.
A single named owner of the information security program, as the Safeguards Rule requires.
Sales and support both answer a published phone number during business hours.
No minimum, no subscription and no cancellation fee on standard pricing.
As with any large scale data set, VerifyDeceased does not claim responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information provided. Users must independently verify all data and carry out their own research to confirm the validity of any record.
All information is offered as is and should be used as a supplemental resource rather than a sole source of truth. That is why every match we return carries a confidence score, and why we recommend a documented review step before any account is frozen or closed.
