It is not easy to forge a death certificate for official use. However, you can make a fake death certificate for indoor use or the required purpose. It was easier to create a phony death certificate a few decades ago, filled out on special paper and issued by your state to the funeral home. You’d only have to create the fake death form on the legal form, complete it, and have it signed by the informant, physician certifying the cause of death, and funeral director. These signatures could be forged on the fake death certificate and finally filled out in person with the local registrar for the State Bureau of Vital Statistics.
