Death Record Details:
The Alabama Center for Health Statistics began filing death certificates in 1908 for deaths
that occurred in Alabama.
The fee to search for a death certificate is $12.00, which includes one certified
copy of the death certificate or a "Certificate of Failure to Find." For each additional copy
of the certificate ordered at the same time, the fee is $4.00. Checks or Money Orders should be
made payable to "Vital Records." Please do not send cash. Fees are non refundable. Additional
fees are required for expedited service.
The Center for Health Statistics has some death, marriage, and divorce indexes available for
purchase on rolls of 16 mm microfilm. This film contains copies of old paper indexes as they
were originally created to use to search for or locate vital records in the Center for Health
Statistics. (Note they still use many of these indexes to search for records today.)
Since
these indexes were made at different times, they are grouped with different periods of years together.
They also contain very limited information for searching or locating records.

Unfortunately, sometimes these free death records just don't get you all the information you need!
If you hit a brickwall then you may have to try a "fee based" service.
There are "free trial" offers available, so maybe you don't have to spend a cent (hurray!),
as you can try the service free for a couple of weeks.
