Death Records

Copies of Death Certificates are on file in the Town Clerk's office where an individual died and/or where an individual resided at the time of death. In accordance with Connecticut General Statute 7-51a, for any death occurring after July 1, 1997, only the parties specified on the death certificate, such as informant, licensed funeral director, licensed embalmer, conservator, surviving spouse, physician, town clerk, registrar, or other person authorized by the Department of Public Health, shall be issued a certified copy of a death certificate containing the social security number of the decedent.
