Florida Death Notices

By Ben Kingsley


More often than not, when people do a genealogy research about their ancestors, they head in a beeline for other significant information such as the individual's marriage and birth while they skip right past the death record. Today, one might not be able to conjure up in his mind how on earth a death record can possibly help the living. However, people often forget to think that this simple and seemingly irrelevant record can actually bring light some essential information for the descendants of the deceased. Probably one of the most important information such record can provide is the cause of death. With today's people's knowledge of genetic disorders, the mere fact than an ancestor may have succumbed to death from a hereditary disease is very significant. Florida death records not only state the cause of death, but may also include any contributing factors.

The Bureau of Vital Statistics is the fundamental repository of vital records in Florida. Death notices that date back to 1917 can actually be acquired from such office. Each death certificate is worth $5. There are many things you can do in order to obtain a death record. One way is by mailing the office the Vital Statistics. Another is by filing a formal request for a death record through calling or by going to their office directly. Death records in Florida can actually be obtained from other sources. One of which is by going to a local county health organizations. As a matter of fact, these death certificates that are obtained locally are essentially more informative than death registrations simply because these death certificates have more information like the decedent's family, the cause of death and other really significant details.

In the Sunshine State of Florida, any member of the public can obtain a death certificate without a cause of death. A death certificate that includes the cause of death of the decedent is confidential according to the law of the state. This kind of certificate can only be issued to the family of the deceased only, to the spouse, parent, child of legal age, sibling or it can be any person who can provide proof that he or she is acting on the behalf of any of the persons mentioned above. Fifty years after the year of death, the information about the cause of death becomes public and can already be accessed by anyone who wishes to.

If you need to obtain Florida death records faster, then you need to have all the requirements on hand. Requirements include the full name of the deceased, sex, date of death, county of death, social security number if known, and you information as the one requesting for the record. That consists of your complete name, your relation to the decedent if you want to know the cause of death, your phone number where the office of the Vital Statistics can reach you, the funeral director or attorney's professional license number if they are ordering the death certificate. Usually, the processing time for the record to be issued is three to five business days. However, if you want to acquire it fast, you can request it to be rushed but you are going to pay an additional $10.

In this contemporary world, acquiring records such as these can be a piece of cake especially with the help of the Internet. If you want to obtain death records fast and easily, you can try the services of independent online record providers. No worries because these providers have their own online database that can be reached anytime of the day, seven days a week. What gives them an edge over the traditional way of obtaining a death record is that, instead of acquiring the death record in three or five business days, you can have it in just a couple of minutes. What more, you only need to pay a minimal fee once and you can now have unlimited access to their database. Records are public and you can access these anytime without having to worry about being charged.

Knowing these death notices will not only help you track genetic predisposing factors about the family's health and diseases, but also help you with details such as who bought and sold property, who was related to who and other things. Indeed, these records provide a simple and yet important tool. They document the death of an individual, the cause of death, who that individual was related to as well as where he lived. Siblings, parents, children and even other relatives are on these documents as well. For many people, these records are very rich in information and can be an ideal search choice for genealogy research.
