They know where they burried them, and they know when and all. Not to mention the death certificate itsself should tell you who the body was released to, (funeral home, or which family member took the body home.) Of course 90% of the time the death cert is best cause its supposed to list the mom and dad state of birth etc. but there are times when the funeral home will fill in their records with info from someone else, if a kid doesnt know they will ask another member of the family and the death certs usually didnt they just put "dont know" in the blanks. Plus in these small towns the funeral homes might know more about you than you do! ;) Good Luck searching them out! I just called this one today and she brought it right up of course I am sure some might make you come in. Later, chelle
