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.
Sofia was a treasured colleague at the American Cancer Society Discovery Shop, a longtime volunteer, board member and former board chair. Her energy, grace and humor were legend and she will be truly missed.
What joy Sophia brought to the Overlake Discovery Shop. Sophia will be deeply missed by the volunteers and customers who looked forward to seeing her. It was a true honor for the American Cancer Society to have received so much of her time, energy, and humor. She will always be remembered as a dear friend who made a difference in the lives of many cancer patients, their families and caregivers.
