title: [How to complete a death certificate?].
abstract: The death certificate, an obligatory civil act, engaging the practitioner's responsability, and with administrative, judicial, familial and statistical issues, often raises problems for the physician. We will see in this article how to avoid any error and/or approximation, basing these advices and comments on a retrospective study on 100 analyzed certificates, and 30 interviewed practitioners.
