DATES: undated.
ARRANGEMENT: None

DESCRIPTION: These death certificates document all deaths occurring in the State of Utah as required by UCA 26-2-13 (1995). In 1905, a state registry system of vital statistics was established at the State Health Department with local registrars. All certificates created before 1905 are only maintained at the local health department and prior to 1978 some local registrars may not have reported all deaths. Since 1978, all originals are maintained at the State and copies at the local level. The information recorded includes the deceased's name, gender, date of birth, race, age, county of death, address, birth place, citizenship, marital status, name of spouse, social security number, occupation, and parents' names; cause of death; if an autopsy was taken; if accident, suicide, or homicide caused death; place and time of death; disposition of the body; name and address of mortuary or crematory; and signature of person certifying death.
