I would like to know what is included on the death certificate. I am looking at Robert Broughton District Erpingham Volume 13 Page 65. March 1841 quarter. Will it have more than the church burial's record?.
Thanks for any help
Pat

It all depends on what is exactly known or not known by the informant :-)

The following site is useful -

The usage and interpretation of each entry on the Death Certificate is explained in turn along with any historical alteration that may have happened and examples.

Thanks for the info. I have a copy of the church record. Was interested to know whether it would be worthwhile getting a copy of the death cert.

well the cause of death would be stated and the informants name may well be a family member.
