If you find the record on the CWGC site you can print out a record from there which is a bit like a certificate.

There's an example page of a WW1 war returns death register - follow the link near the end of the page at:
http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/Content/Help/index.aspx?r=554&404

Not very informative - English ones are the same here.

Have you looked at De Ruvignys Roll of honour on Ancestry. This contains biographies of casualties in WW1. Sometimes there is a photo.
I found an ancestor in this book who died Christmas Day 1914. You are more likely to find someone who died at the beginning of the war.
