Certified copies of the death certificate
One certified copy of the death certificate is included in every figure on this page.
This home's own price list posts a certified copy of the death certificate at $26 each. This is what the record itself costs. Ask the funeral home whether it charges anything to order them for you.
How many certified copies do you need?
Most families need more than one. Raising the count raises every figure on this page.
One certified copy is $26.
Nobody can tell you how many you will need. Banks, insurers, and pension offices each tend to want their own, so families commonly order several. Set the count and the line says what that comes to.
Tax is always approximate. Ask the funeral home for the exact amount.
