Question:

In 1887, did a doctor have to sign the death certificate or was it signed by more than one medical person?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Yes a doctor would have had to sign the death certificate, that became the law in 1874, it stated the time of demise,the length of the last illnes. Then from 1902 in the UK it became law to have two doctors signatures on the certificate. Hope this helps you, good luck.
