Common Martin Funeral Home Search Mistakes
Opening the wrong Martin Funeral Home

Going to the wrong chapel
Check whether the memorial lists 961 S. Kanner Highway or 714 SE Port St. Lucie Boulevard.
Searching only today
Widen the date range because memorial publication can occur after the death.
Using one name form

Using an obituary as a certificate
Legal, estate, insurance and financial tasks may require an official certified death record.
Assuming all counties charge the same
Martin County, St. Lucie County and the Florida Bureau currently have different fee structures.
