Yes I believe you do.

No, you just need to fill out a form with your name and address and also the name and date of death for the person you need the certificate. The charge is more if it is certified and less for just a copy.

Anyone can order a certified copy of a death certificate. In Massachusetts it's done through the City Clerk's Office where the death occurred. First, you need to determine where death records are filed in your area. Then call for the cost of a certified death certificate and send a request along with your check. If its local, you can do it in person.
