📄 Important Update on Death Certificates in Oklahoma 📄
We want to sincerely thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.
The State of Oklahoma has recently transitioned to a new electronic death certificate system, requiring all funeral homes and all physicians across the state to re-enroll. We continue to do our part the same day we meet with families by promptly entering the information and forwarding it to the doctor for signature—unfortunately, the delay is now with the state’s processing system. — specifically with doctors being reauthorized and certificates being processed and mailed. For example, we overnighted death certificates for a family, and it’s been almost two weeks with no return yet.
Unfortunately, we are not given exact timelines. The State has informed us that delays are widespread due to the high volume of re-enrollments they are processing.
We know how important these documents are, and we assure you we are doing everything we can to get them to you as quickly as possible. We truly appreciate your grace and patience as we work through this situation with the State.
If you have any questions, we are always here to help. 📞
