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.
Cheers to a great, long life led!
104 years is a rare thing. I read the obituary and i see a lot of Elizabeth in her daughter Deahn. Elizabeth lived a full life and left a great legacy behind with her children. MJ and i consider Deahn as much a part of our family as our own. RIP Elizabeth!
Mary, I have not seen you in many years, but I still have fond memories of Yesterday. Rest in peace Mary, you are a wonderful loving person. Say hi to my mom and dad.
I knew her since I was a child, and came to consider her as much a part of my family as any of my blood relations. She was always so kind and seemed genuinely happy to talk with me. I have many fond recollections of her at family gatherings. I am glad she could be with us so long, but I will miss her and will treasure the memories.
Dear Aunt Mary, What a long and glorious life you have had! We will miss your smiling face, your gentle caring voice and the strength with which you carried yourself throughout your lifetime. We know you are beside us as we continue on, giving us strength and leading us the right direction. Thank you for having blessed us with your presence here. Rest easy you beautiful soul!
