Death certificate

A death certificate is a declaration issued by a government stating that a person is dead. It encompasses important information such as a full name, date of and birthplace, date and place of death, cause of death, personal details on a person’s age, gender, occupation, and sometimes their names or other surviving relatives. The death certificate happens to be a legal document that, to some extent, serves as a record in setting up an estate, filing a life insurance claim, and making arrangements for funerals, among others. It turns out to be quite an important document when considering all the legal and administration procedures that would be undertaken after someone’s demise.
