How to obtain a certificate or copy of a death certificate?

This request can be made by post, in person, or by completing the online request form available on the website of the Director of Civil Status. These documents are essential to proceed with the liquidation of the estate.
When you have obtained the death certificate or act, you will then need to take steps to obtain the will research certificates.

Outfit ideas for women for a funeral
While conventions may vary, black is a safe choice. You can also opt for dark and discreet tones like gray and navy blue.
A black funeral dress or skirt paired with a black top are timeless choices. Make sure these cover the knees for a more conservative style. For those who prefer pants, a set of black pants and a blouse, a sober blouse or a plain sweater are an elegant and respectful option.
Short sleeves are generally acceptable, but thin straps should be avoided, especially for religious services. A black blazer can harmoniously complement the outfit while covering the shoulders. For outdoor ceremonies in cold weather, choose a dark woolen coat.
