The application form to apply for a duplicate death certificate is available with the area's local body authorities (municipal offices)and the Registrar who maintains the Register of Deaths.

An evidence of death is required either in the form of a hospital letter where death took place or a certificate from a civil official who certified the death at either the crematorium or burial grounds.

Greetings,

It is no big deal if you lost the death certificate. One can easily avail it from the local municipal body. If the death was registered, it gets much easier, as you only need to provide with basic details of the person and the document is procured. If it isn’t registered, you can always procure a proof from the place where the last rites took place or the hospital where the individual died.

You are supposed to pay a very nominal fee and that’s it.

Also, you can apply for it online through the following portal-

Hope this helps you.
