When will the death certificate be ready?

Two to four weeks or depending on the circumstances of the passing the hospital, attending physicians, or coroners will generate the certificate when the mode of death or investigation has concluded. The funeral home is the responsible party for all details on the certificate, the health department is only responsible for printing the certificate.  Call our office at 219-391-8413 to verify if the certificate has been generated.
