How to eSign a document: online signature legitimacy for Funeral Leave Policy in Canada

[Music] so welcome to another video and the ask the director series today we're going to be talking about the five most common questions I get regarding death certificates how soon can I get them well it's a mortuaries job to get the information and complete the death certificate we must get the causes of death from the doctor and have them sign off on the certificate and then we must get the certificate approved by the county when we get the certificate approved then we can proceed with either cremation or burial now as you'd probably guess some doctors are faster at this process and some are slower on average it takes about five days to get the death ship and approved if the decedent has been in Hospice is generally a little faster I know they're important and the family wants them for legal matters as soon as they can so we really do our best to speed the process how much to death certificates cost there are $21 each and that's just what the county charges us for the death certificates so in essence we're just passing it through and get the death certificates you know as a service for our clients how many death certificates will I need that generally depends on the amount of financial assets the deceased had life insurance policies real estate pensions stocks bonds bank accounts some banks will require an original of the death certificate some will when you give them the original we'll take a copy and give you back the original in general we see families generally get between six and ten you can always get more directly from the county later so there's no need to get a time you know upfront all you have to do to get the death certificates from the county is just go down to their office fill out a form and they'll print the certificates up for you right there what a death certificate look like and what's on them well their certificates aren't a special bluish kind of paper that makes them very difficult to you know similar to trying to prevent people from faking doing counterfeit money the information contained is just personal information about the deceased where they live their job education the name of their parents and the conditions that led to their death they officially signed by both the doctor and the county what if there's an error on the death certificate sometimes there are mistakes on the death certificate and these can be corrected perhaps an address is incorrect or a name is not spelled correctly making a correction to the death certificate is called an amendment and there are various types of amendments some take longer to process than others when the death certificate is amended the original information still stays on the death certificate it's just that the new information is added in an additional in an additional page on their certificate so death certificates could be several pages long so hopefully this answered some of your questions regarding death certificates please do like this video and remember to watch some other videos in the ask the director series thank you
