Lori and all, you can get an "uncertified"(not usable for legal purposes) Death Certificate much cheaper, not sure what the Counties or State Health Dept. charge for that (think that it used to be $2 or something), OR you can get one for $3 ($3.18 for Ohio residents!) through the Ohio Historical Society: http://www.ohiohistory.org/textonly/resource/archlib/refemail.html [scan past half way down the page, to "UNCERTIFIED Death Certificate copy"] And I thought I saw somewhere you could get an Uncertified copy for small change(like10c) but I can't remember where! Anyone else know????
