The actual death certificate is only available through the office of the County Clerk where your loved one died (not where buried, so it can be a difference). If you know the funeral home who handled the funeral, you should be able to contact them for a photocopy. Otherwise, you'll have to pay the couple of dollars for an unofficial genealogy copy.
The other way to get the information is to look up the obituary and any news story that might have accompanied it.
If your relative died far from where you are now, there is a group of volunteers at USGenWeb that will do lookups at the county level throughout the country. Go to http://www.usgenweb.org/, click the state you need, then the county. You'll find some very earnest and honest volunteers who'll make a copy for you of whatever they find.

Get a No Cost Background Check Scan at https://bitly.im/aNDvn
Its a sensible way to start. The site allows you to do a no cost scan simply to find out if any sort of data is in existence. A smaller analysis is done without cost. To get a detailed report its a modest payment.
You may not realize how many good reasons there are to try and find out more about the people around you. After all, whether you're talking about new friends, employees, doctors, caretakers for elderly family members, or even significant others, you, as a citizen, have a right to know whether the people you surround yourself with are who they say they are. This goes double in any situation that involves your children, which not only includes teachers and babysitters, but also scout masters, little league coaches and others. Bottom line, if you want to find out more about someone, you should perform a background check.

First you need to know where they died. If in America, the previous answers about the Social Security Death Index are the best. If you know the state they died in, you can also write to that state's office of vital statistics. If other countries, like England, Italy, Chile, etc., you will need to check that country's vital records for death certificates. For some countries, this can be done online. There's a good book in most larger libraries called the International Vital Records Handbook that has addresses and such.
Happy hunting!

I helped a friend a while back. What I did was contact Graves Registration in the city concerned and they provided all the info. This info was obtained by telephone and didn't cost a thing. As for the Internet I'm not sure, but I would start with the name of the town/city, and then archives and follow the screen from there. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Here is a link for the Social Security death index. Put the loved one's name in the search engine.

Social Security Death Index. Publish annually. My father was there and he died in 1999. Best way to do this is through a public library and see if they subscribe to Ancestory.com. You can access the website for free this way and can locate the files and information that you need. Good luck.

You can look up on line at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Utah. They have the largest geneology records in the world.
