Office of the Coroner

We understand this may be a difficult time. The Kittitas County Coroner’s Office is here to provide information, explain the process, and assist families with care, dignity, and respect.

Our office investigates deaths that are sudden, unexpected, unattended, violent, or otherwise required by law to be reported. We work to determine the cause and manner of death, coordinate with law enforcement, medical providers, funeral homes, and other partner agencies and help families understand what to expect during the process.

Whether you are a family member seeking guidance, a funeral home coordinating next steps, or a provider or agency making a report, this website is intended to help you find clear information, office contacts, and available resources.

Do not hesitate to contact our office with any concerns.
