DHEC death certificate delays continue in SC, leaving families waiting weeks
DHEC death certificate delays continue in SC, leaving families waiting weeks By Caroline Coleburn | January 27, 2021 at 8:38 PM EST - Updated January 28 at 7:17 AM
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - Losing a loved one is already a nightmare. For some South Carolina families, that grieving process has been prolonged as they have had to wait weeks to hold a burial.
That’s because of a death certificate delay, caused by the Department of Health and Environmental Control’s new system for filing death certificates.
DHEC moved to Genesis Systems on January 11 because the old one used Adobe Flash, which was set to expire on Jan. 12. Since then, the system has experienced glitches, leaving some families in limbo.
The annual celebration of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. that usually fills the center of Wellfleet has no boundaries this year.
Organizers from the artpeacemakers group that has for 19 years presented the WalKING Meditation and related activities had talked from the start about potentially spreading out their commemoration of the holiday that honors King’s life. Did they want, Harriet Korim says, to “share the recipe for a non-religious observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, focusing on creativity and family-friendliness, far and wide”?
For 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic made the decision for them.
While Candace Perry says she and other organizers are disappointed that safety concerns won’t allow them to gather people together as usual, “we are planning many other activities.” Korim notes in a phone interview that “for artists, limitations are often the spark of new ideas.”
