Creating a List to Filter Out Deceased Constituents

In List Manager, "Name 1 Status" is used to identify constituent records that have "deceased" in the status field on the general tab. When you are creating your list, be sure to include "Name 1 Status - does not have Deceased", along with your other list criteria. 

 

If you are using extractions to create your mailing list, you have the option of excluding anyone marked as deceased from your list by using "deceased" as one of your suppression segments. 


Always check the "Names" tab on household records when you are marking one of the members as deceased. Be sure to double check that all the applicable household salutations have been updated correctly.
