Verify the Correct Person Before Sharing a Notice
| Check | Why it matters | Pause when… |
|---|---|---|
| Full name | Baltimore-area searches can return similar surnames and family names. | Middle name, nickname or surname differs. |
| Age or dates | Separates a recent death from an older person with the same name. | Age or date is clearly inconsistent. |
| Relatives | Spouse, children, parents and siblings are strong identity clues. | No family information matches. |
| Community | Notices may involve Pikesville, Baltimore, Owings Mills, Columbia, Annapolis or another Maryland community. | There is no known geographic connection. |
| Service | The correct chapel, synagogue or cemetery helps confirm identity. | The service location is unexpected. |
| Publication | The same person may appear on Sol Levinson and in the Baltimore Jewish Times. | The dates or biography details conflict. |

Sol Levinson maintains an extensive cemetery directory with maps and addresses for Jewish and other cemeteries used by families in Maryland and surrounding areas.
Need a Maryland Death Certificate Instead of an Obituary?
A Sol Levinson obituary or funeral listing is useful for public memorial and service information. It is not a certified legal record. For estate, banking, insurance, pension or other official tasks, use Maryland Vital Statistics.
| Maryland Vital Records detail | Current information | Practical action |
|---|---|---|
| State record coverage | Maryland DVR currently issues certified death certificates for deaths in Maryland from 2012-present. | Use the State Archives for earlier deaths. |
| First state copy | $10 | Check the current fee page immediately before payment. |
| Additional same certificate | $12 each in the same transaction | Order only the number of certified copies you actually need. |
| Internet surcharge | $13 | Compare mail or appointment routes before ordering online. |
| Expedited internet shipping | $20 | This is separate from the certificate and internet-processing charges. |
| Baltimore County local issuance | Baltimore County currently does not provide certificate issuance service. | Pikesville families should use Maryland DVR or another authorized route. |
Who may need proof of eligibility?
- A surviving relative requesting the record.
- An authorized representative of a surviving relative.
- A funeral director responsible for final disposition.
- A person with another documented direct and tangible interest.
Maryland may require documents showing your relationship or legal need, such as a birth certificate, marriage certificate, obituary, court paperwork, insurance letter, deed or vehicle title.
Maryland Death Certificate Correction vs. Obituary Correction
Contact Sol Levinson
If a public obituary contains a spelling, date, family, service or shiva error, contact the funeral home about the public listing.
Use Maryland Vital Records
Changing a funeral-home obituary does not change a certified death certificate. Maryland has a separate correction process and currently lists a $10 correction fee when applicable.
How to Find Older Baltimore and Maryland Death Records
Maryland Vital Records directs researchers to the Maryland State Archives for deaths before 2012. The Archives provides separate Baltimore City and Maryland county record series and indexes.
Baltimore City
The Archives provides historical Baltimore City death indexes dating from 1875, with different record series and access rules by year.
Maryland counties
For places outside Baltimore City, county death registration began statewide in 1898, with historic indexes and certificates available for various periods.
Search by place first
The Archives recommends beginning with the location of death and date, then using an index to find the certificate reference.
Check the Baltimore Jewish Times for Additional Obituary Coverage
The Baltimore Jewish Times maintains a current obituary archive and can be a useful secondary source for Baltimore-area Jewish community notices.
Current obituary archive
Use the newspaperβs obituary category when you want broader Baltimore Jewish community coverage beyond a single funeral home.
Submit an obituary
The Baltimore Jewish Times currently accepts obituary submissions by email or phone. Confirm current publication terms directly with the newspaper before sending payment or private information.
How to Verify a Maryland Funeral Home or Funeral Director
The Maryland Board of Morticians and Funeral Directors provides online verification for licensees, establishments and corporations.
Funeral Price Rights Before You Agree to Pay
The federal Funeral Rule gives consumers price-information and itemized-choice rights when making funeral arrangements.
Ask for prices by phone
A funeral provider must provide price information by telephone when you ask.
Request the General Price List
When funeral goods, services or arrangements are discussed in person, ask for the current itemized General Price List.
Separate cemetery costs
Ask whether cemetery, grave opening, monument, newspaper, clergy or other third-party charges are included or billed separately.
Save every quote
Keep the price list, itemized statement, signed authorization and receipt together.
Maryland Burial Assistance for Qualifying Families
Maryland Department of Human Services has a Burial Assistance Program that provides limited help with funeral expenses in qualifying cases involving certain public-assistance recipients or people who meet program eligibility rules.
Payment goes to the funeral director
The state describes the benefit as a cash payment to the funeral director rather than a general reimbursement to the family.
Do not pay first expecting reimbursement
Maryland says Burial Assistance funds cannot be used to reimburse funeral expenses that have already been paid.
Possible eligibility categories can include
- Public Assistance to Adults.
- Temporary Cash Assistance.
- Temporary Disability Assistance Program.
- Medical Assistance in qualifying circumstances.
- Supplemental Security Income in qualifying circumstances.

Driving straight to a cemetery
