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.
So many parts of your mom’s legacy made me chuckle with admiration. Fanette was a delightful woman who I enjoyed visiting on many occasions. She had much sadness in her life but carried on with that beautiful smile and twinkle in her eye and never dwelled on anything but the best. She spoke often of her family member she spoke with daily and of you, Patrick and Jessica. I remember being with her before a surgery where medical, life history and laughter were shared openly, without regret. What a woman Fanette was, and one who will remain in my thoughts forever.
