necrology
List of deceased
A necrology is a list or register of deaths, or an obituary notice.
The term appears in religious and institutional contexts—monasteries kept necrologies of deceased members, and newspapers publish annual necrologies of notable figures who died that year.
More broadly, necrology can mean the study of death or mortality statistics.
