It's almost impossible to get an LA County obit-- most often, none was placed. If it was, it's only a line or two. Too many people in the area...and very expensive.

For deaths in the Los Angeles area, your best bet would be the local (community) papers, of which there are many. Judy is correct, the metropolitan papers (L.A. Times, Daily News) writes obits only for well-known residents and celebrities, and death notices in those papers are expensive. I was born and raised in L.A., and I've never heard of Rinado Beach. Could you mean Redondo Beach? The local newspaper for Redondo Beach would be the Daily Breeze, published in nearby Torrance (http://www.dailybreeze.com/). There's also a weekly paper - The Beach Reporter (http://www.tbrnews.com/redondo_beach_news/). A web search will direct you to local newspapers for other communities in the L.A. area. Since you have the date of death, you could try asking the newspapers to search for an obit. Or you could ask the local library (http://www.redondo.org/depts/library/default.asp) if they have these papers on microfilm and will do a search for you. Good luck!
