Updated Free Public Death Records

By Claire Dowell


As much as we want to avoid death, and no matter how bad it feels when someone dies, we have to face the fact that it is an essential part of life. Death can come anytime, in any form, and this will happen to everybody. Since it is essential, death records are included in the vital records. In the state of Texas, the Texas death records can be obtained at the Bureau of Vital Statistics at the Texas Department of Health.

Documents of death that are 25 years or less are given exclusively to the immediate family members of the person who passed away. Those that exceed 25 years have no restriction, thus, it is made available to any member of the public who wants to acquire it. To make a search possible, whoever requests for it should be able to provide at least the full name, address, city or state of the dead person.

Useful details are included in the documents. Relevant fields like death notices and certificates, obituaries, burials, cemeteries and funeral parlors. Personal information of the dead person may also be provided like his/her name, age, address, wife's name, relatives, and reason of death.

Obituaries are often regarded as just death notices only but they are more than that. They can be utilized to remember or celebrate the good things that occurred in the life of the dead person. Usually, achievements and awards are included such as background, education attained, military and social service, and others. Negative remarks may also be included like the criminal history information but that rarely happens.

You can transact a copy of the documents for $20 each. If made simultaneously, additional copies requested will only cost $3 each. It is publicly known that transactions at government offices normally are lengthy and requires labor. If you need the documents urgently for legal purposed or you just simply cannot wait, you can avail the services of professional record keepers. With the help of their powerful database, the pieces of information that will be provided for you will be more comprehensive and complete.

Searching the World Wide Web will help you find a lot of professional record keepers. Do not forget to investigate the site before availing their service. For free death records, go for sites that are free-of-charge. However, if you wish to retrieve a version of the document that has higher quality, then choose the fee-based sites. Yes they do require fees but they are minimal and they make up for it with the quality of their service and they give refunds for records that may not be located.
