Best way to notify of the death of a member (I don't know the ward)
A member passed away, he wasn't active so the clerk never knew about the decease.
How to proceed when I want to notified about the decease, but I don't know the ward where the member was attending.
Thank you!

FYI
I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...
[ And, I happen to be a Member of the Church ... ]
Just in passing ...
Here are two (x2) "Options":
[ 1 ] Ward/Branch is KNOWN
IF, you know of, the particular Ward/Branch, of the Location, at Death; THEN, contact, the Clerk, of that particular Ward/Branch; and, advise of the situation/circumstances.
[ 2 ] Ward/Branch UNKNOWN
IF, you DO NOT know of, the particular Ward/Branch, of the Location, at Death; THEN, speak, to the Clerk, of YOUR Ward/Branch, request that they "Transfer", the "Membership" Record, to YOUR Ward/Branch, to get the Death recorded.
But ...
That Said ...
In either case ...
You should have, Evidence/Proof, of Death (eg. Preferably, a "Copy" of a "Death Certificate") ...
[ Or, in the least, the likes of, an "Obituary"/"Death Notice"; or, a Grave (Burial)/Cremation, record ... ]
I hope, that this may help/assist, somewhat.

Thank you @Brett . ! Of course you helped me!
I never thought about asking for the membership record and making the change in my ward. (Beacuase I didn't know we were able to do that) It makes total sense.
Thank you again! The best with your research!
