- There is no link to this suggestion below, however, it indicates a way that one Georgia county has conjured up to get certified death certificates to funeral homes in a timely fashion without having to have face to face contact:
Another area in which the probate court has made similar strides is with death certificates. An external station with multiple mailboxes, like what might be seen in an apartment complex, is being installed outside the building so that each funeral home in the county can have its own box. This allows the transfer of death certificates and related documents, of which funeral homes have many in any given week, without unnecessary physical contact.
“The funeral home people don’t want to come inside, and we don’t want them to,” said Powell. “We figured this is the best way to do it so they can come at their convenience. They submit everything to us electronically, we finish it and they come pick it up. This way they can do that whatever time of the day or night they need to.”
