How to Order a Death Certificate
New Utah Law
Utah law now allows families to care for their dead without the services of a licensed funeral director. Families that do not retain a funeral director must file a death certificate and comply with state laws and rules regarding the disposition of human remains.
A death certificate must be filed within five days of death and before final disposition of the deceased’s remains (Utah Code 26-2-13 (1)(a). A burial transit permit is required before removing the remains from the place of death (hospital, nursing home, home, etc.) R436-8-1(c). If you are planning cremation or removal of the remains from the State of Utah, a Cremation/Burial-Transit permit and a review by the Office of the Medical Examiner is required.
