Death Records Now

I am having problems with New York City’s vital records department. The death certificate that was issued recently after my mother’s passing contains numerous errors. They simply want to cross out the mistakes with a pen and hand write the corrections. When I ordered a new copy of the certificate that copy had no corrections at all! They won’t answer my calls. I want to file suit in local court to prove my case and obtain a new certificate with the correct information typed in, hence, bring an end to this nightmare and allowing my mother to regain her dignity. Can anyone help in recommending what should I do or where I should go to resolve this? I have tried other channels including the Public Advocate’s office to no success yet.

What about contacting your city councilman to ask for help?

You may have tried that already. I was going to suggest the public advocate as well, but you seem to have done that already.

I wish you luck in this. It’s a pity the City is so cavalier about a person’s death certificate! You’d think they’d have more respect!

I have already called the DNR In Liberty Co,Ga and THEY where of no help.It seems it is not there job to remove or even record the death of this endangered Bird.Nor are they worried that it might have died from the bird flu or killed by a poacher.So if some one knows what I’m to do with this Kite I would really like to know.And no I will not dump it on the door steps of the DNR.

I would suggest burying it before it starts to smell.

Protected species die of natural causes all the time. There is no need to contact anybody or have anybody record the death. They do not track endangered species by counting each individual animal. They use a method in which they conduct a survey to estimate the population of the species. As such, they really don’t need to be alerted every time one has died or is born. If there is no sign that it was killed deliberately, give the poor thing a little dignity and bury it.
