Town pages
Each one names the police department that releases a scene there and where death certificates are issued.
- Mount VernonMount Vernon Police release the scene. Death certificates come from the registrar in the City Clerk's office.
- New RochelleNew Rochelle Police, and the City Clerk at City Hall for certificates. Covers the north end with Scarsdale addresses.
- ScarsdaleA Scarsdale postal address is not always the Village of Scarsdale. Which police department came decides who to ask.
- BronxvilleVillage police on 914-337-0500, and a registrar that also records deaths at the hospital in the village.
- Hastings-on-HudsonPolice and the Village Clerk share the Municipal Building on Maple Avenue. Notes on hillside access.
- Dobbs FerryVillage police on Main Street, death records from the clerk, and homes that sit above a shop.
Places without a page of their own
Tuckahoe and Eastchester are covered too. Ask the police department that responded when the home is released. Deaths in both go to the county medical examiner in Valhalla, as they do everywhere in Westchester.
A small part of Yonkers on the Bronx line gets its mail through a Bronx post office (10470). Cleanup companies reached through this number may not go there. Call and ask; if they cannot, you will be told right away.

A cleanup company may still decline a particular address, for example one it cannot reach with its vehicle. The call settles it in a minute.
Just outside these towns
Ardsley, Irvington, Pelham, Greenburgh and White Plains are close by. Phone (914) 979-7472 and give the address. If a company can take it you will be put through, and if not you will know to look elsewhere without losing more than a minute.
Once the police hand the home back, phone
The person who answers works for an independent cleanup firm active in and around Yonkers. Put any question to them. Whether to hire them is up to you.
