Josi, I take it you are referring to Irish Certs when you say > The certs however do not take up a lot of room they are two and a > half inches wide.!! Two and a half inches is only about two postage stamps wide. Even going for the cheapest option at 1.90 Euro you will get a photostat copy which is at least eight to eleven inches wide by two inches high. If you go for a full death cert you will get one measuring about fifteen by eight inches but with the same info. In the UK I have paid 13.50 Sterling ( about 20 Euro) for a Death Cert. Brendan Jones.
