An Authorization Letter For Burial is a fundamental document required in the Philippines when arranging for the burial of a deceased person. This document is necessary to comply with Philippine civil registration requirements, local government regulations, and public health standards. It is typically required by funeral homes, cemeteries, and local government units before proceeding with burial arrangements. The letter should be prepared by the next of kin or legally authorized representative and must include specific details about the deceased, the person authorizing the burial, and the intended burial arrangements. The document ensures compliance with Republic Act No. 3753 (Law on Registry of Civil Status) and Presidential Decree No. 856 (Code on Sanitation of the Philippines), while also respecting local government requirements under Republic Act No. 7160.
