Question

How can I obtain a death certificate for John McNamara ( January 3, 1940-November 29, 1989)

Answer 1

Contact the jurisdiction that maintains these records in the location where he died. You may have to prove or establish that you have a right to a copy of this record. Specific requirements depend on the jurisdiction. In the United States each state has different rules.

As George said, you need to contact the vital records authority in the place where he died. In the United States, this is the state -- or possibly the county.
