Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The actual death certificate is only available through the office of the County Clerk where your loved one died (not where buried, so it can be a difference). If you know the funeral home who handled the funeral, you should be able to contact them for a photocopy. Otherwise, you'll have to pay the couple of dollars for an unofficial genealogy copy.

The other way to get the information is to look up the obituary and any news story that might have accompanied it.

If your relative died far from where you are now, there is a group of volunteers at USGenWeb that will do lookups at the county level throughout the country. Go to http://www.usgenweb.org/, click the state you need, then the county. You'll find some very earnest and honest volunteers who'll make a copy for you of whatever they find.
