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.
I want to thank you for sharing your daughter with the world on this online video. Having a daughter myself that is 19 and just lost 2 classmates within four weeks of each other, it has not been much fun in our small town. What a great tribute for your beautiful daughter Samantha, we are so blessed that you would share your family videos with us. I said the one thing I would do, if my child died, would spread every picture every word I could about them. I would never let anyone forget! You have an Angel watching over you! May all your memories help you with your grief, and help put a smile on your face.
God Bless you all!
