2006 Necrology
What is a necrology? A necrology is a listing of people who have died during a specific time period. Find a Grave necrologies let you browse the names and faces of the 75 most famous people who have died during a selected year, all the way back to 1900. They are listed in order of their Find a Grave 'fame ranking', as voted by Find a Grave contributors. To view a necrology, simply select a year from the pop up list below.
