A death certificate is an official document that records the date and circumstances of a person's death. Death certificates are prepared by the funeral home or organization handling the person's remains, then filed with the state. Although it may be the last thing you are thinking about when a loved one passes, a properly filed death certificate is a necessity. You will need a standard, certified death certificate for many reasons: to administer their estate, to gain access to a family member’s credit history, or to access insurance proceeds. | A death certificate is an official document that records the date and circumstances of a person's death.
