DO MEDICAL EXAMINERS, CORONERS AND INVESTIGATORS CHECK WITH THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION AND ASK FOR NAMES OF THE PARENTS?
This varies from county to county. In some cases when parents’ names have not been provided and our volunteers have exhausted the usual resources, we will request the Social Security application of the deceased to try to learn the parents’ names. In other cases, we will work to coordinate with the submitting agency to make this request.
