Death Certificates

A Certified Copy of the Death Certificate is necessary before anything can be done.  It is a good idea to obtain multiple copies of a death certificate as many agencies require a certified certificate and not a photocopy.

The Funeral Director will assist you in acquiring Certified Copies of the Death Certificate which may be required for a variety of accounts including:

• Social Security
• IRS
• Pension/ Retirement Accounts
• Life Insurance Policies
• Veterans Benefits
• Brokerage/Investment Accounts
• Banks
• Asset Transfers (Home, Auto, Land, Mineral Rights)
• Utilities (Electric, Water, Cell Phone)
• Probate and Legal Matters
• Personal Family Record
