Death Records

If you know what county and state they died in you can usually go to the Bureau of Vital Statistics for that area

I believe you go to the Office of Vital Statistics in the county of the persons death and request a copy of their death certificate. There is normally a fee of around $20. associated with the copy of the certificate.

Hope that helps.

Have you tried google? I just found my Great Aunt on Google. Just type in the name and it should come up.

you can search it online. for instance, i live in lee county. SOOO.. i would go to http://www3.leegov.com/healthdept/ . on that site there is a link for services. then you would go to vital statistics . there you can look up deaths in the state of fl. in a specific county. and soo on. OR you can go your local health dept office of vital statistics and look them up there. GOOD LUCK

have you tried going to the local paper where the person lived....for a person from the tampa area, you can look at tbo.com. then you can also google with as much info as possible....sometimes you can only find the date of death and the funeral home, but not the cause...good luck.

G.,

You can usually get copies of death certificates through the health dept. But you need to know what county the certificate was file in.

Cause of death is usually on there.

IF a car accident was involved, you may want to get a copy of the plice report as well.

do a search for the county public court records. This is with recorded deeds and mortgages too. You can usually find death certificates. Sometimes they are not viewable though, depends on the circumstances (cause of death, etc).

Yep, as mentioned by other moms,
the office (or dept?) of vital statistics
is the place to obtain information,
BUT if you WANT to purchase a death certificate
you will need to PROVE you are a relative.
