Go to http://www.pedersonfuneralhome.com/obituaries/ObitSearchList/1 (and increment the final number)
The last page number is also stored within the source:
<input type="hidden" id="totPages" value="83" />
This could probably be done with a GreaseMonkey script that cycles through each page grabbing the links and at the end displaying a page with all of them, which then could be saved using
Save Page As ...Just messing around, this is a heavily modified site scraper from
http://blog.nparashuram.com/2009/08/screen-scraping-with-javascript-firebug.htmlCurrently it will start at the URL
@ayryq mentioned above and load every page until the last one, (requires GreaseMonkey naturally), at a rate of about 1 every 3 seconds. It also grabs all the URLs from each page but as I haven't worked out how to store them yet, they get overwritten at each page load.

The comments within the code are what I think should happen but I haven't tested it yet, (mainly because I can't code in Javascript ... but I'm perfectly capable of hitting it with a sledge hammer until it does what I want ... or I give up
).
Someone who actually does know Javascript could probably fill in the big blank areas in record time.
