Death registration for Dorothy A. Fox

[Dee]

I am trying to find the death certificate for Dorothy A Fox (Milner)
who was married to Cecil C. Fox. She died in 1959 at Cobourg, Ontario
and is buried in St. Michael's Catholic cemetry.

Dee, if you go to the cemetery, you can find out the exact date of her
death (and burial), and armed with that, you can order a death
certificate - if that is what you are after. Depending on the
cemetery, you might be able to get the information over the phone if
they aren't busy and are feeling indulgent. Not much info is on the
actual certificate, and you have to pay for it. Sometimes the cemetery
records will have cause of death, and other tidbits. Local newspapers
may have the notice obits as well - talk to your local library about
sources for Cobourg newspaper archives. If you just want to see the
registration information see here about how to go about it

Sites like Ancestry don't have info on Ontario deaths after 1934.

Incidentally, for whatever reason, not all deaths get properly
registered. My mother died in the 1970's in a major hospital in
Toronto, and her death was never legally registered for some reason.
After my father died, I had to get proof of death certificates for her
from the funeral home for estate purposes, since the lawyers
discovered there was no registration for her.
