When filing a life insurance claim should documents be received from the insurance company before sending the death certificate?
If you want to be sure your claim gets paid, and not denied, get the death certificate before you send anything to the insurance company.

If you get the death certificate first you can deal with any issues of improper reporting. I work at the Center for Life Insurance Disputes and we help clients collect death benefits.

Is a widow should submit the marriage certificate to apply fresh pass port?
In the United States, if the widow has not changed her name after the death of her husband and has a passport with her married name, she does not need to submit any name change documents (marriage certificate, etc) with her passport application. She does not need to get a new passport until her old one is about to expire since all her identification documentation will have the same name. However, if the widow has changed her name upon the death of her husband, or marriage to a new husband, she will need to submit a copy of the legal paperwork that changed her legal name. For marriage, a marriage certificate is sufficient; for a name change, a copy of the court certificate should be enough.
