There is a Facebook group called FreeObituaryLookups.  https://obituarieshelp.org/  is like a Cindy's list for obituaries - it links to newspapers based on geographical location - but you may need a subscription to the paper (or not).   Also you may need to consider that in major cities, there may have only been a death notice and no obituary, especially if the family was not prominent or wealthy enough.
