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 beloved Sousou,
Your departure broke our hearts as it did in previous times but now it’s for real. As always, your memory will never fade away. It will keep glowing reminding us of how kind and loving you are. You and I enjoyed a mother-daughter relationship that I will always cherish and use as a role model for others to learn from. You treated me as one of your own and that only reflects the purity of your soul, your wisdom, and peaceful nature. You were known as the ‘giver’ extending your support, love and care to facilitate the family’s healthy growth. I will always respect you as a lady, a mother, a grandmother, and a fabulous mother-in-law. May your soul Rest In Peace.
With great sorrow,
Lena Jammal
