A death certificate is important for a number of personal, statistical and legal reasons. When a loved one passes away, obtaining a death certificate is a critical part of estate settlement. In the days and weeks after a loss, certified death certificates will be required by different agencies. Death certificates can be ordered for you by the funeral director assisting you.
In some cases, there may be a need to obtain a certified copy of the death certificate without a cause of death. These certificates are needed to transfer the title on a house, mobile home, and automobile or in some cases for court procedures. You should make this request when ordering the certified copies.
