If all information necessary to complete a death certificate is
not available within the time prescribed for filing of the
certificate, the funeral director shall file the certificate completed
with all information that is available. In all cases, the medical
certification must be signed by the person responsible for such
certification. If the cause of death is unknown, undetermined or
pending investigation, the cause of death shall be shown as such on
the certificate. Final disposition of the deceased shall not be made
until authorized by the attending physician or the medical examiner.
An amendment providing the information missing from the original
certificate shall be filed with the State Registrar as soon as
possible, but in all cases within 30 days after the date of the death.
