How do I obtain a certified copy of the death certificate?

The Coroner’s office does not issue copies of the death certificate. Copies can be requested from the funeral home when arrangements are made. As a courtesy to the family, funeral homes offer to obtain the certificates from the Gilmer County Probate Court, 706-635-4763. The Probate Court charges a fee for each copy, and any additional copies may be obtained directly from them. The State of Georgia charges $25.00 for the first copy and $5.00 for each additional copy of the death certificate.
