Death Certificate Information

Please find information regarding how to request a death certificate below: 

First, please complete a Death Certificate Request Form HERE.

If you are using a funeral home for arrangements, the funeral home will gather all of the information and enter it into the MA Registry of Vital Records and Statistics.

If you are NOT using a funeral home for arrangements, information will need to be provided to the Town Clerk to enter into the MA Registry of Vital Records and Statistics. Whomever is responsible for the arrangements will need to submit an Informant Worksheet for Certificate of Death. The attending physician will also need to submit a Death Certificate Medical Certifier Worksheet, unless they are able to submit it directly into the MA Registry of Vital Records and Statistics. Please view the Electronic Death Registration System process for family designees not working with a funeral home HERE. 

For more information, please contact: Nicole Tudor,  Temporary Acting Town Clerk via email ntudor@truro-ma.gov or phone 508-214-0925.
