Statistical Information Form

Families frequently ask, "What are the steps for getting a death certificate?"

Steps to ordering initial certified death certificate(s):

  1. The top part of the death certificate is completed by the funeral director from information provided by family.
  2. The cause and manner of death is completed by the medical provider (PCP) or medical examiner.
  3. The county (in which the death occurred) records the death certificate and certified copies may be ordered for the Informant.


Many families have found this secure Statistical Information Form (see fillable fields below) useful while gathering the information for the top part of the death certificate. You may skip fields and work directly with your funeral director if you prefer.
