I used the online index to find death notices of two relatives. They tell you it takes 16-18 weeks to get the uncertified death certificate. The first one took exactly 16 weeks. It's been 16 weeks now, and I'm still waiting for the second one! I can't imagine why it takes so long since you provide the exact name, death date and record number along with a SASE! The cost for each is $3.00.
