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.
Dear Laura,
We know that services for Paul was truly a celebration of God’s grace in his life. I lost a beloved brother and feel the loss but am encouraged that you have always been a tower of strength to him and your family.
“God didn’t promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, But he did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the day. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.” We thank Him!
Laura, know how much we love you!
