I am searching for an online death certificate or burial listing for an old family friend. Does anyone have any recommendations where I could go to find such a listing. I have already tried the ancestory sites so next answer please.

I am looking more for his burial place than the death certificate. I just figure it lists who (funeral home) the body was released to. I was under the impression he was buried someplace he is not or I looked in the wrong area. I thought they buried him in Arlington Natl Cemetary.

Due to the HIPAA Privacy Act, you are not entitled to a death certificate. You must show just cause and relationship to obtain one, and there is always a fee, they are not free. Also, because of privacy issues, this info would never be posted online. If you know which funeral home it was, call them and they should be alble to see where he was buried. Good luck.

You're not going to get a free death certificate. Death certificates cost money.
But it sounds like you're looking for a burial listing, anyway....
Check the newspapers for the obituary. It should list where they're being interred.
From there, you can look up the specific cemetery (IF they're online), or contact them via mail.

Ancestry.com may have a social security death index but to get a death certicficate, you need to go to the court house in the country in which the person died. There will be a small charge.
In some cases, you may be able to get it through the health department. You need to call to find out.
Or you can call them and ask for a form to fill out. They will want to know your relationship to the deceased. You will need to be a close relative I believe.

most states require that you provide proof of relationship or necessity for a death certificate to be released. You can go through their office of vital statistics or health and human services. There is usually a small fee - around $10.

If you know the approximate date of death and where they lived and/or died, you can then contact the local library for back issues of the local paper...it will contain the obituary, or even easier, contact the paper directly, most all newspapers have a website and many have online obituaries archived.....my old hometowns do!! Good luck!

Yes if Social Security was notified of the Death.

Search the records in the city where he/she was at time of death.
Good Luck
