Julia, take a look at this link to Barbara Dixons site, it has details of all certs.

Many Thanks

Julia, where did the death take place? Where are you planning to send the PO to? If you are thinking of the GRO, they do take orders by post, but cost £8.50, or £7 online.
If you wish to pay £7, unless you do it online, you will have to apply to the register office where the death was registered, and some charge slightly more than £7 to cover postage, but I think the majority charge £7.
If ordering from the local register office, a covering letter with the details of name, age, approximate date of death etc should be sufficient plus of course your return address (unless you include a large SAE to cover return).

it's probably easiest to direct you to a thread elsewhere, it will give you some onfo about what you will find on a death certificate and how/where you can order them

I'm assuming you need info for an England/Wales certificates, info on the link below;

Would a very kind person answered the following questions for me.
1. What information do I have to give,when ordering a death certificate

2. I have purchased a £7 P. Order to pay for it, but what address do I send it to, and is a covering letter with the information sufficient.

3. What information will the certificate contain so that I can match it up with the birth certificate, thus proving I have the correct person.

Many thanks in advance
