UPDATED *09 Oct 2014: NOW SEARCHABLE (Especially those 1867 through 1907 Ohio death records) Ohio, County Death Records, 1840-2001 1,544,566 records.
Now you don't have to dig to find that hard to find death record for Ohio!
The Ohio Territory became a state in 1803. A statute was enacted in 1856-57 requiring registration of deaths, but it was mostly ignored. A law was passed in 1867 requiring registration but the current record keeping system was not in place until 1908.
Ohio did not officially start recording deaths statewide until 1867, and even then it was not mandatory, nor were all deaths reported.
Deaths from 1867 thru 1908 - Prior to 1908, death records for the state of Ohio were kept by the county probate court where the death occurred.
There are a select few counties that have death certificates from 1954 and up. One example is Belmont County, Ohio which lists death certificates up to 1982, and Knox County, Ohio which has death certificates up to 2001, Van Wert County, Ohio has up to 1989 Death Records.

Ohio Death Certificates
http://ohiohistory.wordpress.com/2014/10/02/new-death-records-now-available-online-in-the-ohio-history-connections-state-archives/
Search Ohio Death Certificates 1908-1963:
http://apps.ohiohistory.org/death/index.php
$7.00 (non certified) versus $25.00 (certified) is very reasonable.
Yet, as an example for certain areas such as Belmont County which has death records and certificates up to 1982, and Fulton county death records to 1954, Huron county death records/certificates up to 1997, and Knox County death records/death certificates up to 2001 at: https://familysearch.org/search/image/index#uri=https://familysearch.org/recapi/sord/collection/2128172/waypoints
You still have to know the exact date of death, and a certificate number for 1954 through 1963.
Drawback is the Ohio Death index at familysearch at:
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1949341
jumps from 1944 to 1958 with the important years of 1944 through 1957 being missing from the index.
But you can search Ohio, Deaths, 1908-1953 at:
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1307272
to find between 1944 through 1953.

We have recently added a new feature to the Online Death Index! You can now order certificates that OHS holds but do not appear in the online index. We have developed an online order form at:
http://www.ohiohistory.org/dindex/request.cfm
that allows researchers to enter the name and other required information and then send this to the online store where they can pay for it using a credit card.
