Q. Why do I need to bring the birth certificate?
A. We ask for the deceased person’s birth certificate, care card, and social insurance card. Many times, the information on the birth certificate is different from what the family thinks is correct; names spelled differently, dates a little off, etc. Errors can cost you money, payable to Vital Statistics. Call or drop by.
