Hendricks County, Indiana Obituary Database and Card File

The Local & Indiana Information Department of the Plainfield - Guilford Township Public Library maintains a local obituary database and card file. Names are added to this database continually. This database is a duplicate of the library's in-house Hendricks County, Indiana Obituary Card File. Information for both the database and card file is recorded from local newspaper obituaries or death notices. If you have any questions about the index, contact us by e-mail or phone (317) 839-6602 ext. 2114.
