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.
Sally and I send our sincere sympathy. I remember your mother well and also your father. May they rest in peace. Your family was one of the few families to visit us in our out of the way village home in the jungles of Central India. We hope to see you in Boulder one of these days. Our son works for the National Solar Observatory which has recently moved from Tucson to Boulder. He and his family live in Longmont.
