An Act relative to timely issuance of death certificates to funeral directors

HD 3748 requires funeral directors to receive original death certificates within 24 hours of requesting them, directly affecting licensed funeral directors and undertakers. The bill amends Chapter 112 of the General Laws to mandate that issuers of death certificates deliver the original document to the funeral director's business location within this timeframe. This change streamlines a key administrative process for funeral homes, ensuring timely access to certificates needed for burial arrangements and legal documentation. The provision applies to all requests made by licensed funeral directors or undertakers.
