About this translation
In the United States, a death is registered by the state where it occurred. Certified copies of the death certificate are issued by the state vital records office or by the county, and some large cities such as New York City issue their own. The document shows the identity of the deceased, the date and place of death, age and marital status, the informant and, depending on the state, the cause of death and burial or cremation details.
