How can I find out if someone was buried/cremated-Already checked death certificate-didn’t attend the funeral.?

My recently found deceased dad of whom I know nothing about except his dob and date of death and the places is deceased so I never attended a funeral nor did my mom so I don’t know any of his friends no library has a obituary, the death certificate didn’t list it and the possible cemetery didn’t have him and if it helps at all I live in The Maryland suburbs of Southeast District of Columbia (Temple Hills, MD 20748), My dad’s name is Tyrone Tucker 1961-2002 visit: https://familysearch.org/search/recordDetails/show?uri=https://api.familysearch.org/records/pal:/MM9.1.r/Q4YR-GT2/p1
to see the death certificate.
Thanks, Timothy Warren

These are addresses for a Tyrone C Tucker b. Dec 13, 1961 and the year of the record. Look in Oklahoma for death certificate. Norman is in Cleveland County. There is a Tyrone Tucker in Norman OK as late as 1998.
4731 Frankford Ave, Philadelphia, PA, 19124-5812 (1991)
2101 S Simpson St, Philadelphia, PA, 19142-2029 (1993)
1380 Creekside Dr Apt 806, Norman, OK, 73071-1930 (1996)
1908 Lakehurst Dr, Norman, OK, 73071-1608 (1996)

You also might try calling the local funeral homes in Norman.

Also do a Google Search of name in quotes and look at people search sites, then look for PA and Norman OK matches. There is even a Groton, CT location associated with the name and Norman, OK. They also listed other names associated with his.

    the link you posted is not a death certificate. It states at the top, it is from the social security death index (not the same thing at atll). It states his social security was issued in Penn. which may or may not be the place of death.
    http://www.portal.health.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/birth_and_death_certificates/11596
    a death CERTIFICATE has to be ordered from the state (and yes, it will have a fee).
    Disposition of a body is legally a requirement for any death certificate.

    The Social Security Death Index is not a death certificate. They are kept for different purposes and contain different information.

    Death Certificates are documents kept by the county and state to serve as proof of death of an individual and to glean certain health and vital statistics of public importance. Here’s a random example of what one looks like (you may need to sign in to see the image) https://www.familysearch.org/search/recordDetails/show?uri=https://api.familysearch.org/records/pal:/MM9.1.r/MSLP-8V6/p1

    The SSDI "contains a listing of persons who had a Social Security number, who are deceased, and whose death was reported to the Social Security Administration….If you find a person in the Death Index you will learn the date of birth and Social Security Number for that person." The SSDI never has burial information. In this case, it doesn’t give you a last known address that could help track down a death certificate.
