Hi Becky,
A certified copy of a death certificate costs $6.00. (Birth certificates
are $5.00, in case anyone needs that information.) Photocopies are 50 cents
per page. I think a death record from 1940 is 2 pages long, (haven't gotten
any for a long time), so it should cost $1.00 for the photocopy of it.
The County offices will only accept cash or money orders, so slipping a
dollar into the envelope would be okay.
They have a website with their genealogy hours, request forms
(applications) for records, costs and instructions posted. Here's the URL
for the Vital Records section of their site. (Please note that their forms
give the start date for death records as 1893. This should be 1882. They
haven't changed their forms since they indexed the early records.)
