Unless Indiana has different laws than the neighboring states, you can get a copy of it if you were either her next of kin or the executor of her estate. They don't know who the NOK is today and if you call and tell them that it's who you are, then I doubt they'll ask for proof that everyone else is gone. They'll just ask for proof that you are who you claim to be.

How hard it must be for all of you.
There is an alternative means. I assume you must know the mortuary that handled the services. They should have a copy of the death cert itself. Many states require certain persons only (spouse/parents) can get it via the state, but morticians have always been of help to me in my research. Admittedly, the ones I have needed, have not been "recent" files. Cause of death will be shown on the certificate, and most will be explanatory (or can be researched, if something like an illness that you don't understand).
Obviously this won't be as detailed, but sometimes the details are hard to cope with. Maybe this is a compromise. I certainly hope that answers for you is a way for finding some healing.

I pray you and your family are given all the grace you need to get through all the things that arise in missing your sister. When my dad died I had a lot of guilt over a lot of mean things I had done and/or said, but God blessed me with only holding onto 2 wonderful memories and getting rid of all those regrets...what a blessing. We can always choose to change a bad thought to a good one; isn't God great!
I am not sure if your father is trying to spare you from any more pain (father's are like that ya know), but if you truly think it will help you and your family, then you might want to check with Legal-Aid, but if the answer could in any way cause more pain to you or to anyone, you might just want to let it go.
Only let thoughts that bless dwell in your mind,
Sista C

i'm very sorry on your loss, my heart is going out to you and your loved ones. i've got been in a similar place myself, my first daughter handed directly to the excellent beyond whilst she replaced into each week previous, and that i comprehend that discussing the post-mortem checklist could be overwhelming. it must be extra trouble-free so which you will jot down your questions all the way down to take with you to the assembly, to confirm you do no longer depart something out. i assume one question you need to ask is what they think of prevented the umbilical twine from becoming to a classic length. replaced into it some style of genetic affliction, or did it in simple terms take place on it fairly is very own? is this some thing that must be prevented in a threat destiny pregnancies?
