Death Certificates
We can assist in obtaining the original death certificate based on the information you provide during the funeral planning process. However, it typically requires the signature of a physician, who will note the cause of death. Once signed, the certificate is sent to the health department for registration and recording. The original document remains with the health department, and certified copies can be requested from them. To help us with this process, we will need the following details about your loved one:
- Full name
- Social Security number
- Date and place of birth
- Address at time of death
- Marital status and surviving spouse’s name (if applicable)
- Veteran’s discharge papers (DD-214) (if applicable)
- Father’s name
- Mother’s full name, including maiden name
- Place of death
- Highest level of education and occupation
