Certified Copies of

Death Certificates

California Law allows only certain individuals the right to obtain certifed copies of death certificates. As your funeral director, we can order your certified copes when we file the original death certificate with the county (or in some cases, the city) of death. For additional certified copies, you may contact the local health department where the death occured, or the California Office of Vital Records to obtain a copy. Remember, each individual agency has their own required form to request the certified copy.

Tracking Down Insurance Policies:

When someone dies, family members often remember previous discussions of life insurance, but can't find the policy or any record of it. Now, there's a way to track down a lost or misplaced life insurance policy, FOR FREE.

Write to: Policy Search Dept. of the American Council of Life Insurance, 1001 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, D.C. 20004 (1-202-624-2000). Include as many details as you know. The deceased's birth date, place of residence, and maiden name (if appropriate), etc. The council will send this information to 150 insurance companies to check if they issued a policy to such a person.

Contact the Veterans Service Officer for G.I. Insurance, 1-800-669-8477.

Notify other insurance companies or local agents on policies held on the deceased.

Check coverage of home, at place of employment, auto medical coverage, union, health and accident, life insurance, credit accounts such as Wards and Sears which might have death coverage, bank accounts, credit unions, etc.
