In most cases, the funeral home, cremation service or mortuary will handle the process of preparing and filing the death certificate. However, there may be some circumstances in which you need to obtain a copy of a death certificate of a loved one.
Caskets, cremation services, funeral services, flowers, urns, and other things and services associated with funerals may all be sold by a funeral business in order to generate revenue and profit.
Your beneficiary can be a person, a charity, a trust, or your estate. Almost any person can be named as a beneficiary, although your state of residence or the provider of your benefits may restrict who you can name as a beneficiary. Make sure you research your state's laws before naming your beneficiary.
