Death certificate information and the certificates themselves will be obtained through the funeral home you have made arrangements with. Not the coroner’s office.
Most people want to know when the death certificate will be signed. I understand the importance of the need of a death certificate and I will do everything I can to sign them as soon as possible.
If there will be an autopsy expect the death certificate to take approximately 8-10 weeks. This is out of my control. The doctor has to provide me with the completed autopsy report before I can sign the cause of death.
If there was only a toxicology panel done it will take approximately 3-4 weeks for the death certificate to be signed.
If there were no toxicology panels nor an autopsy performed then approximately a few days to 2 weeks until the death certificate is signed.
I understand that death certificates are needed for life insurances and many other things that need to be addressed following a death. There are factors out of my control that I just have to deal with. Once again, as soon as I have all the information needed to sign the death certificate, I will. There is no need to keep calling and asking how much longer or is there anything I can do to speed things up. If you do have any other questions you can reach my office at 573-883-3558 or email me at [email protected]
