Yes. In the United States, when you arrange for the funeral and burial of a family member who dies, the funeral director will ask you how many copies of the death certificate you want to buy. The funeral home provides the coroner with the information for the death certificates and orders certified copies for you. Sometimes you need several certified originals to satisfy insurance companies or creditors.
In the United States, you can usually obtain the death certificate of a direct ancestor if you can prove your relationship to them. If the person died more than 70 years ago, then the information is a public record available to anyone. In the United States, state and local governments didn't begin to record death certificates until the late 1800s. Before then, births and deaths were recorded by churches and temples and in family Bibles.
