Redirect mail addressed to a deceased individual.
U.S. Postal Service® will continue to deliver mail addressed to a deceased person until we are notified of a change in delivery preference. If you would like the deceased’s mail to be forwarded to a different address, such as that of an appointed executor or administrator, simply file the request at your local Post Office™.
For additional information see the Domestic Mail Manual.

The Deceased Do Not Contact List.
|
You may request to have the deceased’s name removed from commercial marketing lists. To assist in this process, the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) has created a Deceased Do Not Contact list. All DMA members are required to remove names on this list from their mailing lists and many non-DMA members comply, as well. Once a name is registered, commercial contacts from DMA members should begin to decrease within three months. There is a $1 fee for the service. To register a name or learn more, visit the DMA Web site.
