The County's out-sourcing this service has made the once simple process of getting a Death Certificate laborious and onerous. I filled out the necessary form, mailed in my check for TWO Death Certificates of my father and received ONE Death Certificate weeks later Plus a recurring charge on my credit card for a Vital Statistics subscription I never asked for. Geez! I hope the County can fix this pain-in-the-keester process and return it to the fairly simple process it used to be.
