start by going to the county clerk's office in the county where they died. if that doesn't work contact the vital records dept. for the state where they died. also, whoever made funeral arrangements and handled the estate was probably given copies when parent's died in order to handle insurance policies etc.

It depends on the jurisdiction, but generally in the United States the records are maintained at the county level. I would suggest contacting the county courthouse, they would be able to help you obtain the death certificate.

If the death was before 1910 it may be at the County court house for which ever county the person died in. after 1910 the state department of vital records.
