By Claire Dowell


The death of a loved one is one of the saddest things that we would know about. Although, it may be sad event, it still has to be properly documented for it to be used in legal matters. Tennessee death records have been made open to the residents of Tennessee.

Accessing the death records of Tennessee is done for several reasons. It is one of the primary sources of information when conducting a genealogy research. One would know details about the whereabouts of a relative by doing such research. A death certificate is also necessary when processing government request such as insurance claims and declaration of dependents. One may have difficulties in doing such request without the needed document. Another important use of a death certificate is when a widowed spouse has plans to remarry. It is one of the documents that has to be presented during marriage application

One can find a lot of information on a death certificate of an individual. The complete name of the person who died is one of the important things that can be found on the file along with the date and the place where the person was declared dead. The cause of death of the individual is also one of the important information that is documented on the public death record.

A $5 processing fee is needed in order to get a copy of the death certificate of a deceased family member. Tennessee only keeps death certificates in the archive for up to 50 years. The document is only given to the immediate family members of the deceased thus it is important to indicate your relationship to the person on the record when requesting for a copy of the said file. One should indicate his/her reason in order to get the requested file.

The office of the Vital Records Section is where all of the public documents of Tennessee are being managed. This includes the state's death files. This is the first place that one should check when planning to obtain a copy of a death certificate. The local county clerk office can also help you with the search as long as the event was registered at the county. One can also do a mail request however, doing this may take a while for the record to be sent back to return address. This is the reason why the Internet was utilized by the state to deliver the records online.

One can now request for online death records. Doing the search in this manner cuts time in half since the request is done remotely. This allows one to save energy in going to the office. The record can be obtained in seconds instead of days
