Information
A death certificate is the official document, which serves as a
proof of death. It will include the deceased name, age, address, etc and
a medical portion stating the cause or causes of death. The certificate
is signed by Medical Staff or Coroner.
Certified
copes are available at local health office in which the death occurred
and at some time later, at any health office within the state.
During
the funeral arrangement conference, we will ask you how many certified
copies of the death certificate you will need. As part of our service,
we will obtain and pay for these certified copies on your behalf.
Although we try to obtain certified copies prior to he completion of the
funeral service, this is not always possible, especially if the that
occurs out-of-town or the cause of death is pending, waiting post-mortem
examination results. If the family needs additional certified copies,
they must be obtained from the issuing health department. The funeral
home does not maintain a copy of the death certificate.
