Brough Dead need Death certificate
1 year ago
My dad and mom were travelling to Bihar for a marriage ceremony. On the way, my mom's health condition became worst, and she died .May dad took her to sadar hospital Buxar Bihar .The doctor declared that she was dead and gave us a certificate in which it's written as Brought dead at 10 am no Cardiac activities found , Pupils Dilated.My father took an ambulance and bring my mom dead body to kolkata.At burning ghat, we provided the dead certificate issued by Sadar Hospital Buxar where cause of death was not mentioned they people at the burning ghat took it and cremated my mother's body. When I went to the municipality to get a death certificate they are now asking to provide a cause of death .They asked us to ask a local doctor to issue a death certificate where the cause of death is mentioned by none of the doctors is willing to do so as the dead body has already been cremated.Municplaity said that they will not issues death certificate unless we bring a cause of death certficate.I am not sure what legal setsp I have to take to get my mother death certificvate
As a rule, all patients brought to hospital as dead on arrival should be made medico-legal and death certificate should not be issued. But cases like above, you may follow following guidelines and issue death certificate at your own risk. Just check carefully all treatment papers and be convinced that they are genuine.
Thank you

But sir, None of the doctors is willing to give us a death certificate, and the municipality said that without a doctor;s death certificate, we cannot issue dead certificate or cremation certificate. We were never advised by the hospital to do a post-mortem nor the burning ghat people advised us that we need the cause of the death. Since the dead body is already burnt we cannot do post morterm as well .can you please advised me what to do now its been more than 4 months since my mom passed away but still I haven't got her dead certificate.
As per the earlier death certificate issued by medical officer it goes without saying that it was a natural death as there was no cardiac attack etc., thus there can't be any cause and reason for a natural death. If the Muncipality refuse then u may approach the Court of Magistrate under following provision of law:
