When you need to apostille a Indiana death certificate, you will need to make sure to have a certified copy of the vital record beforehand. If you need to order one, your best bet is to go through the Indiana Department of Health Division of Vital Records. Here's what their website says about obtaining one:
Indiana Codes 16-37-1-10, 16-37-1-11, and 16-37-1-11.5 serve as the State statutes for the fees, relationship, and identification requirements to purchase documents from the Vital Records office. The purchaser must have a “direct interest.” A direct interest is defined as a documented and verifiable financial and legal interest or an immediate direct kinship (parent, adult sibling, or grandparent) to the person named on the record.
Others such as guardians, attorneys, funeral directors, or other authorized agents acting on behalf of the registrant or their family may demonstrate a direct interest when information is needed for determination or protection of personal or property rights.
Depending on the individual’s interest in the record, additional documentation may be required.

Parents of the individual listed on the certificate – must be listed on the record
Spouse of individual named on the certificate – must show proof of marriage
Child or Grandchild, 18 years or older, of individual named on the certificate – must show proof of relationship
