Q: How can I get a cremation certificate from my moms death from the funeral home in Wisconsin that cremated her?
My mother passed away in Feb 2018 in Wisconsin. My sister who was the assigned executor, also passed away in Sept 2019 also in Wisconsin. My mother did not leave a Will. She was a widow. I live in Orlando, Florida and I have my moms ashes. How can I get a copy of the cremation certificate from the funeral home in Wisconsin that cremated her?
A: Did you ask the funeral home for a "cremation certificate", and why do you need one?
Bruce Alexander Minnick agrees with this answer
A: Hire a lawyer and pay them $150 to call the crematorium and get a copy of the certificate you want sent to you.
