Utah law requires a death certificate to be registered before remains can be disposed of or transported out of state. Thanks to EDEN, Utah’s Electronic Death Entry Network, online death registration is available for funeral directors, physicians and the state’s Office of the Medical Examiner, easing the timeline for grieving families to obtain death certificates.
EDEN was developed by programmers in the Utah Department of Health under the direction of a steering committee consisting of state and local health personnel, physicians and funeral directors.
The mission of the Utah Department of Health is to protect the public’s health through preventing avoidable illness, injury, disability and premature death, assuring access to affordable, quality health care, and promoting healthy lifestyles.
