Dear Burns, Laurie J.,
Thank you for the quick response. The document is only partial of what was requested. Of which is a copy of the death certificate which would provide the location of death. Thanks
Yours sincerely,
M. A.
Good Morning,
The County does not possess death certificates. You have to go to the municipality in which the death occurred in order to obtain this or you can get it from the State Vital Statistics. Here is the link:
