'Place of interment' means the place where the burial took place.

Well the the obvious answer is to look it up in a dictionary (that's a
book)or use Google or even Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burial

I am interested that a place of interment should be shown on a Death
Certificate. The Death Certificate is surely issued prior to this event.
The place of interment may not even be decided when the Death Certificate
is issued. Is this common in the USA? I have never heard of this before.

The death certificate is generally filled out a 1 - 3 days after the death
and sometimes later if an involved autopsy is required. By that time, the
family has made the arrangements, and they know where the body will be
intered. Also, people often make arrangements, buy burial plots, etc
before they croak, or they have family plots. When my dad passed in 2005,
all his arrangements were already made. All we had to do is fill out the
death cert information, the Coroner signed it, and sent it to the state for
whatever processing they do. We got certified copies in about a month.

Much the same in UK - however did the certified copy show the place of
interment? - this is what I found interesting in the original post.

In UK, although of course folks do make prior arrangements, you don't know
from the death certificate whether the deceased was buried or cremated and
certainly not where.

I don't think I vouched for the accuracy of Wikipedia although there have
been some other threads on that subject lately. However it does know the
difference between interment and internment. Perhaps you don't, perhaps
you do. I don't really care.

Yes. Graveyard only though, not the specific lot and grave.

from the death certificate whether the deceased was buried or cremated and

Most death certificates I have seen involving copies for the German side of
my family going back to 1852 have shown at least the graveyard. The only
one that didn't was poor Sarah. She did as a patient in Eloise in Nankin
Township, Southwest of Detroit. Eloise was a large hospital that housed,
among others, mental patients. Since none of them have been cremated, I
don't know if they would show that or not, I suspect that they would though.

You do if it is a Scottish registration before 1861. Cremation as a

modern method of disposing of a body was not established until 1885 in
the UK with a build-up in numbers as the 20th century progressed.

The OP had "Interment" in the subject line and a typo "intenment" in the
body of the message. Internment was not mentioned until McScuff made
a typo on interment in his reply. But everybody is correct (sans typos) -
interment is burial and internment is confinement.

I can't speak for other parts of the U.S., but it is not unusual in our area
for a death certificate to be issued days or even weeks after the State is
notified of the person's death (and place of interment in most cases.)
Funeral parlors usually handle that chore these days, but in days of yore,
usually a relative or physican (or both) filled out the necessary forms. So
the place of interment (actually called burial on our form) is usually shown
on the certificate - it is likely only the name of the community, but
sometimes the name of the graveyard is given.

Birth records are similar - certificates issued several days, even weeks,
after the date of birth. These days the hospitals do the paperwork. In the
past, some births never got reported to the Vital Statistics people - the
midwife or the family may not have been literate. I have a brother-in-law
born in 1920 who did not have his birth registered. He had to jump through
hoops to obtain a birth certificate before joining the U. S. Army during
WWII. Affidavits from parents, witnesses, that sort of thing. But he finally
got the BC.

It's not uncommon; especially if the body is being retrieved from
a morgue or mortuary. They have to process the paperwork showing
that the body is being released to the family, and that
arrangements have been made. It's not necessarily filled in by a
doctor at the time of death, although that's also possible.

Call it 50/50.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment

Actually, in some places, they literally are the same thing - e.g. "above
ground burials" near New Orleans, LA (USA) - or any other place where a
Masoleum is used as the final resting place on a regular basis. Those
instances are both "burial" and confinement!

[Unsprung]

The DC was not "certified" per se but was copy of the the original record.
It included a number of blanks to fill in including:

Date of death
Place of death
Date of interment
Place of interment
Name of cemetery

For the DC in question, all of the above was filled out except name of
cemetery.

In UK burial is not permitted until a certificate is issued
with the consent of the coroner if for example a hospital death

That is for England and Wales (and only in prescribed circumstances),

there is no direct equivalent to the Coroner system in Scotland. The
general conditions under which a Coroner becomes involved are where
the death is connected with :-

- an accident or injury
- an industrial disease
- during a surgical operation
- before recovery from an anaesthetic
- if the cause of death is unknown
- the death was sudden and unexplained, for instance, a
sudden infant death (cot death).

A Coroner is responsible for investigating a death in the following
circumstances :-
- the deceased was not attended by a doctor during the last
illness or the doctor treating the deceased had not seen him or
her either after death or within the 14 days before death
- the death was violent or unnatural or occurred under
suspicious circumstances
- the cause of death is not known or is uncertain
- the death occurred while the patient was undergoing an
operation or did not recover from the anaesthetic
- the death was caused by an industrial disease
- the death occurred in prison or in police custody.

[Department for Work and Pensions - "What to do after a death
in England and Wales"]

Otherwise, where a burial or cremation is to take place in England and
Wales the certificate necessary for disposal is issued by the
Registrar when the death is registered, the Coroner then only being
involved if the body is to be removed from England and Wales when an
ONS Form 104 (http://www.lbwf.gov.uk/removal-notice-form104rev.pdf) is
issued once the Coroner has received 4 days notice and given
permission for the removal.

_Strictly_ for the record: New Orleans isn't the only place
the above ground burials happen; it's quite common all over
South Louisiana, because the water-table is less than 6-ft
underground. (g) New Orelans cemeteries are the best-known
of the places because New Orleans is better known than
Houma, say.

Yes, it's very common to have the place as well as the date
on post-1920 death certificates. B'lieve the hospital
issues the certificate to the funeral home who fills in the
rest of it and files it with the state.

Cheryl

[singhals]

In my experience (much of it in the state you're apparently
talking about), when the place is named but not the name of
the cemetery, there's only one cemetery in that place. For
instance, if Dry Prong has one cemetery, there's little
point to filling in Dry Prong Cemetery, Dry Prong, Mumble
Count ST...certainly few people I know in the place I think
you mean would bother doing that! (g)

Didn't mean to be picky on the interment vs. internment but didn't want to
confuse the OP!

internment is an entirely different thing and has nothing to do with
burial:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment


Actually, in some places, they literally are the same thing - e.g.
"above
ground burials" near New Orleans, LA (USA) - or any other place where a
Masoleum is used as the final resting place on a regular basis. Those
instances are both "burial" and confinement!




_Strictly_ for the record: New Orleans isn't the only place
the above ground burials happen; it's quite common all over
South Louisiana, because the water-table is less than 6-ft

What part of "e.g." didn't you understand? Nowhere did I say that it was
limited to New Orleans.

Back a little over 50 years ago I was in the army with a fellow-draftee

who said he was from Houma. I asked him how the oil business was going
(Houma being one of the centers for offshore drilling in that part of
the Gulf). He said "We don't have any oil around Houma". Questioning him
further, I found that he was from Homer, in the northern part of
Louisiana. (For the uninitiated, Houma is pronounced like Homer, but
with the R being sounded.)

And many Louisianians pronounce Homer like Houma, but with the R not being

I had a brother-in-law who pronounced it Hooma when talking to
out-of-staters, so they would not confuse it with Homer.

That would only have confused me, but then I can just hear either of my
two NOLA uncles saying both words.

I'm sorry, but one good pun deserves another. You know, of

course, that Tarzana, California, a suburb of Los Angeles,
has many hundreds of miles of roadway, so many in fact that
their marker crews are kept busy year-round. You might
say Tarzana Stripes Forever.

OOOOPS! I left the "out" off of "with". I'm afraid that rendered my post

meaningless to those who didn't know how to pronounce Houma. Must
proofread. Must proofread. Must proofread....

We're just going to have to tie Clifto's fingers together so he can't speak!
But maybe not - he's innurtaining us all.

The OP had "Interment" in the subject line and a typo "intenment" in the
body of the message. Internment was not mentioned until McScuff made
a typo on interment in his reply. But everybody is correct (sans typos) -
interment is burial and internment is confinement.

And the internet is being buried in cyberspace.
