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.
My heart etched in a space for Dawn, with her bright smile , sly witty humor, adventure seeking and big love for all people, animals , and nature.
That all stays within me, thank your Dawn.
My heart goes out to her family & friends, much love.

I met Dawn in the early 1990’s, we were both working at Swedish Hospital at the time. I was immediately drawn to her sweet, caring and amazing zest for life. We developed a special friendship, and she helped me through a particularly painful time in my life, in some ways that I was never able to share with her. Life took us in different directions, and over the years I have thought of her often wondering how she was and where she was, hoping she was well and happy. I just learned of her passing, and my heart truly stopped at that moment. Her picture is exactly as I remember her, so beautiful inside and out. Dawn, I thank you for coming into my life when you did, you had a forever impact on me, you changed me, and I am grateful for that gift. I wish you peace and love now. I wish your family and friends peace, love and healing as well. Thank you for being you, God Bless you.
