The EDRS Project
On July 1, 2008, the Vermont Department of Health introduced an Electronic Death Registration System (EDRS). This web-based application allows funeral directors and physicians to register death certification at any time and from any location where web access via Internet Explorer is available. Town Clerks can print a registered death certificate as soon as it has been completed by the funeral director and physician.
This more timely and efficient process benefits those awaiting the final document and its data, including survivors and public health planners. The EDRS has also been designed to assist in improving the accuracy and consistency of information about deaths in Vermont.
