Important Announcement Regarding Deaths in King County
Families and their Funeral Service Providers, including Barton Family Funeral Service, are experiencing significantly delays in obtaining death certificates from King County while King County implements an electronic system called EDRS. (You may read about it HERE)
We have been using the EDRS system for several years for deaths occurring in other counties such as Snohomish County. We know the system well and are trying to help physicians and hospitals as they make the transition. Because King is such a large county, the transition is taking longer than we have experienced in the past, and unfortunately we are all experiencing considerable delays in obtaining death certificates.
County and State officials are very cooperative and are working diligently to facilitate the change. We ask for your patience and assure you that we are doing everything possible to meet your expectations.
I miss you mom…to the moon and back.
I am deeply sorry for your loss. Chris lived so far away and because of our age difference I never got to know her as I would of liked. We did have one thing in common, we liked to savor our Starbucks. I looked forward to your occasional visits to Michigan, especially when all you boys and your families came for that one special Thanksgiving and we gave Grandpa the Grandfather clock for his Birthday. Ashley considers you boys her uncles rather than cousins as I think of you more as brothers than nephews because of our closeness in age We enjoyed our 1 visit to Seattle, that Sunday dinner was fantastic and a great tradition to carry on.(Don’t forget the paper bag when you celebrate a Birthday and that person is not there.)I feel a tremendous loss, we were 4 siblings connected by one generous and kind Father and now we are 3. Love, Aunt Shirley
