also remember that some of the information on a death certificate, no matter WHEN it was issued, is actually only hearsay ........... ie, what the informant knew or was told by the dead person


This "hearsay" information includes

name of deceased
age of deceased
marital status of deceased (if shown)
occupation


The accurate information will be

date of death
place of death
cause of death
sex of deceased
name and address of informant
relationship of informant
name of doctor
name of coroner and date of inquest

And it depends on whether you mean an England/Wales cert.
