Death Certificates for
Sailors
The following
information was researched by Neal Byrge:
1-800-876-1131
ext 629
NAVY--Write
this Number down and put it in a safe place. If, during war
time your Sailor was Killed in action and buried at sea, there
may or may not have been a death certificate prepared, depending
on the circumstances. You will need the Sailor's name,
but they will ask you for additional information that you
should know (date of birth, where he entered the service,
etc) I tested it, I have a cousin who Was Killed in
Action and buried at sea. They told me to hold on while
they searched, in about 3 minutes he was back on the line
said "yes we have this name could you give me some
personal information so we are sure we have the right person"
I gave
them his home of record.
They then gave me a world of information on him. More than
a Death Certificate would give you.
In Peace
time Sailors are not buried at sea, their bodies are delivered
at the next port of call for shipment to their home station.
A death certificate is or should be prepared and registered
in that State. A copy should be in his records.
If the
death occurs in the US, the death certificate is prepared
and registered in the state where the death occured.
All the
above also applies to the Marine Corp.
ARMY- Air
Force. In the US Death Certificates are prepared and
registered in the state where the death occured. Overseas
Death Certificate is prepared by the nearest Military Facility,
a copy should be in the service mans file.
