who is GSD and where do i find their number?

GSD = Global Services Department (used to be called the Global Service Center).
Contact information is available here: https://tech.churchofjesuschrist.org/wi ... ice_Center
I would use the "Support for Local Unit Leaders" section.

I think there is also a special request option in LCR that will let you send the information to them (I haven't had access to LCR for a few years so can't verify): Full member name, membership number, death date and death place should do it.

You can use the Help > Contact Us menu option in LCR to submit a support issue where you can make this kind of request. That page also has phone contact information for the GSD as well.

You could try calling them back into your ward using the meeting house address.

The help desk told me once that it is better to give them the death information (date and place) and let them update the record, rather than to transfer the record back into the ward and record it locally.

And the GSD told me a few years back that in order for them to record a death they needed an obituary or death notice uploaded to them, I suppose to prevent someone pranking them that a person is dead. So there's that . . .
