The following query was sent to me. Have any of you run into this same
problem and if you have, were you able to solve it.

Kathleen,

Can you tell me if a funeral home can refuse you access to your
grandparents records? I was told it is private
information and they could get sued if they gave it out.
Is there any law against a grandchild getting the information? These
records are 75-100 years old. I
asked if I could at least see the index and was told NO.

The only way I could get info on death and burial on these folks. The
vital records can not find the right ones.

I don't want to name the funeral home but it is located in Pawnee
County, OK

Thanks,

Raymonda Allen
