Description:This handbook contains instructions for funeral directors on completing and filing records of death and fetal death. These instructions apply to the 2003 revisions of the U.S. Standard Certificate of Death and the U.S. Standard Report of Fetal Death, and the 1992 revision of the Model State Vital Statistics Act and Regulations. This handbook is intended as a model that can be adapted by any vital statistics registration area.
Note that funeral service licensees are known by several titles in the United States, including funeral director, undertaker, mortician, embalmer, mortuary science licensee, and mortuary science practitioner. For this handbook, the term “funeral director” includes all of these titles as they relate to persons who are responsible for the disposition of a body or fetus and for completing and filing death certificates and, in some states, fetal death reports
