    Some counties have all records on line. There may or may not be a charge to copy or print the document. ALL death certificates are public record unless there is some reason to seal the record. All counties maintain death certificates for public review and copy. Again for a charge. A certified copy of a public record, if needed, carries an additional charge.

    A death certificate cannot be issued until either cause of death is determined or they conclude that there is not enough evidence to list a cause of death. That only happens in about 1/100th of 1 % of the cases.

    Death records are public information.
