No cremation or burial may take place until the death certificate is signed by the physician, filed with the Department of Health and cause of death is reviewed by the Medical Examiner.

You may order certified copies of the death certificate when you make the funeral arrangements—They are typically available to be picked up in 5 to 10 business days.

For those choosing cremation, arrange to pick up the urn of ashes from the funeral home once the process is completed—typically in 5 to 10 business days.
