I have a death certificate that gives the name of the informant and then in the box that says qualification it says - "Causing the body to be cremated" - I dont understand this, I though the qualification part had to be somone who knew the dead person such as a relation. Can anyone help me understand this.

I know that a second doctor has to sign the death certificate in order that the body can be cremated.
