My paternal grandfather died in 1960. Since then, my father has passed away. I was wondering how i would go about getting a death record (i know the hospital he died at) and what I would need to get this death record.
 
The medical records for death are kept and issued by the town or county the death occurred in. It is best to call them by phone and see if they have the records on file and then they can also tell you how much it will cost to send the records to you. My fathers death certificate came from the town in NJ that he died in, my mother birth certificate came from the Dept. of Health, City of New York, NY which was issued on June 9 1889, just to show you how far back their records went. If you don't know anything about the above you can contact the state as they may also have a record.
