Explain how birth and death certificates are completed
Birth certificates are usually completed and submitted by hospital health information departments. Death certificates (and fetal death certificates) are usually initiated by hospital nursing staff (or the patient's attending physician), and then completed and submitted by funeral homes. The certificates are filed in the local vital statistics office and sent to the state office of vital statistics.
