What information is recorded on an Ohio death certificate?
Answer
Death certificates in Ohio typically contain the name of the person who died, the place where the death occurred (County, and City or Village), the date of death (Month, Day and Year), the cause of death, and the disposition of the body after death (Burial, Cremation or Removal).
There is space on Ohio death certificates for the date and place of birth, the names of spouse, father and mother, and occupation. Personal information is supplied by the informant at time of death, and the accuracy or inclusion of this information is dependent on the informant at time of death knowing and supplying the correct information.
