With such document becoming public, the family members of the deceased would have no problems in getting the document to be used in important transactions.

One of the primary uses of a death certificate is to use it in claiming insurance and benefits of the deceased individual. Without this document, the family member would have difficulty processing the request. Genealogy research is also one of the reasons why residents of Alabama would request for a copy of the file. The information that can be found on the record is used to update the family tree. Aside from that, death certificate is also necessary should the widowed spouse plan to marry. She/he would not be able to proceed with the marriage without presenting the death certificate of the late spouse.

The document would contain the real name of the individual who died along with the details about his/her birth such as the date and place where the person was born. One would also find the deceased person's residence address on the document. The highlight of the document is the information that is related to the person's death such as the place and the date when the person died as well as the cause of death.

The immediate family members of the late individual are the only ones who are allowed to obtain a copy of the document. This is even truer if the document has not yet reached 25 years in the archive.
