Stephanie: You are referring to non-certified death certificates. Some states allow non-certified copies of the death certificates at a reduced rate, but usually more than the cost of the copy. Georgia does not provide for this. However, I have run across some funeral homes who place a copy of the obit and death certificate in their files and will copy them for relatives or descendants at copy cost only. This is not the norm, but it's worth asking. Alabama has put the information of interest to researchers from their older death certificates (non-certified, of course) on microfilm and made them available to researchers. It would be wonderful if Georgia did this.

I know you can do that in NC, but I have not tried in GA yet? If so there might be someone in the county you need one in willing to go to the courthouse and do that for you for the price of the copy and postage. That's the way I do the marriage licenses in Pike Co.
