When you lose a loved one, you may not know that you need death certificates. But this official document plays an important role in helping you take care of your loved one’s estate.

Because death certificates list the date, place, and cause of death, they serve as proof of death for insurance companies, banks, and other organizations so you can close out accounts, transfer ownership of property, and obtain life insurance. You’ll also need death certificates to receive a burial or cremation permit and any veterans' burial benefits.

To learn how to request a death certificate and what information you need, visit www.funeralbasics.org/beginners-guide-death-certificates or call us at (309) 764-1144!
