Practical steps after a death
Death certificates
New Jersey records a death in the town where it happens. For a death that occurred in Denville, the township’s Office of Vital Statistics issues certified copies, in person or by mail, and tries to issue them at the counter. Applications must be signed, and copies are mailed only to the requester’s current address with proper ID. Deaths in other towns are kept by that town’s registrar. In practice, most families order certificates through the funeral director, who files the death record.
Phone: (973) 625-8300, ext. 261

Social Security
The Social Security Administration should be told about a death; funeral homes usually report it for the family. Questions go to 1-800-772-1213 or ssa.gov.
Veterans
Eligible veterans can receive a burial flag, and USPS lists burial flags among the services at the Denville post office on Church Street. Funeral directors typically arrange the flag, military honors and any veterans cemetery burial, including New Jersey’s Brigadier General William C. Doyle Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Burlington County. Have the veteran’s discharge papers (DD 214) ready.
Comparing costs
The federal Funeral Rule requires every funeral home to give you an itemized General Price List when you meet to discuss arrangements, and to give prices over the phone if you ask. You can choose only the goods and services you want, and you can buy a casket or urn elsewhere without paying a handling fee. Ask for the list before you sign anything.
Planning ahead
Preplanning lets a person record wishes, such as burial or cremation, religious service and music, and spare family members those decisions later. Several homes above offer online planning forms. If you prepay, get the terms in writing and ask how the money is held and what happens if you move.
