Certified copies of the death certificate

One certified copy of the death certificate is included in every figure on this page.

This home's list does not post a price for a certified copy of the death certificate. Georgia charges $25 for the first copy and $5 for each one after it, so those are the figures below. 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 $25, and each one after that is $5.

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.
