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.
Jack was my grandfather and a very great man. He was the strongest man I knew. He was very loved and respected and always kept us laughing. We love you and miss you terribly!

Uncle Jack, I’m sorry I didn’t make it to say good bye, but just know how much I love you and miss you. I know you will keep the angels laughing.
Love Teresa
Hi grandpa, I sure miss you, I didn’t know it till you were gone. Now i think about you daily. I wish we had one more day to remanice about how we grew up from kids to adults. One more day to hear your funny statements. One more day to talk about hunting and when we were going to do it together. One more day to talk about how life changes so fast. Thank you grandpa for what you taught me. I love you and miss you! Your grandson, John
rest in peace
