You don't need to be a relative. You must be looking at the state Vital Records department. You can get this from the state archives. They have Deaths: 1853-1953
Fill out this form and send it by email to the address below.
They will mail the cert. with a bill. Last time I ordered it was 15 cents for a copy of the ledger page, and $2.00 for a certified copy. You can ask for one or both.
If you are in RI or near, you can go to the archives in person. Check also the American French Gen. Society. I think they have these films as well.
