FamilySearch.org now has transcripts and actual copies of death certificates from a number of locations and are available at no charge. I try not to spend money on my genealogy hobby so this is good news.
I found the death certificate for my wife's great grandfather, John William Glenn. It shows he died as a result of Hodgkin's disease. When he died, 63 years ago today, Hodgkin's disease was almost always fatal. Today most people who come down with it are treated and recover.
I've also had great luch with this site and even broke through a brick wall: bit.ly/9vXEK4
