Tu consulta está plenamente justificada, ya que en Canadá (provincia de Manitoba), según la información que he consultado, y que me ha dejado sorprendido, se distingue con claridad entre "death certificate" y "proof of death certificate". Veamos:
https://alternacremation.ca/9/Death-Certificates.htmlWhat is a death certificate?
There are two documents that are often called “death certificates”, and these two documents are often confused:
The first document, called
“funeral director’s statement of death” or a “proof of death certificate”, can be issued by funeral directors.
The second document, called a
“death certificate” is issued by Vital Statistics (in Manitoba). This certificate usually takes several months to obtain.
The confusion between these two documents can sometimes lead people to request a provincial death certificate when it isn’t required. In the next section, we’ll illuminate some scenarios in which medical death certificates are required.
A la vista del escenario expuesto, resulta evidente que un "proof of death certificate" NO es idéntico a un "death certificate".
