 Death certificates: As noted above, if you are using a funeral home, they can provide

you with certificates. Ask for a good quantity, perhaps a dozen; it’s surprising how

many you might need. After 30 days they can be obtained from the Pennsylvania Dept.

of Health. Calling 1-877-724-3258 will connect you to its Office of Vital Records.

 Notify: Social Security office (immediately), insurance companies, banks, lawyers,

employer, schools, etc.
