How it works
Here's a quick overview of how eCedent's death certificate management process works
When a sudden, unexpected, unattended, or suspicious death occurs:
- Using the data you've already entered, your office initiates the death certificate using eCedent's secure online network
- eCedent automatically notifies the decedent's funeral home
- You sign the death certificate using a password-protected electronic signature
- The funeral home logs onto eCedent and fills in the remaining data – and can now print the completed certificate anytime
eCedent creates an electronically signed, perfectly printed death certificate – faster and more efficiently than ever before.
