What does the abbreviation CRIP and CURP mean on a death certificate from Mexico?
In MEXICO the CURP and CRIP appear in practically all official certificates issued in Mexico as of President Ernesto Zedillo's Administration (1994-2000), October 23, 1996. Not every person's documents have their CURP or CRIP numbers but their documents do have a field for that. Increasingly, people are being required to have those numbers especially the CURP in order to file taxes and other official procedures such as getting married, voting, buying and selling property, enrolling for school and so on. C.U.R.P. (Clave Única de Registro de Población) = Single Population Registration Code Clave Única de Registro de Población This a registration number assigned to all individuals living within Mexico, as well as Mexicans living abroad. The National Population Registry is responsible for assigning CURP numbers and issuing the corresponding certificate. It contains 18 alphanumeric characters generated from the Identification Document provided (usually a Mexican Birth Certificate, Naturalization Certificate, or migratory document) and is comprised by: a) The person's paternal last name, mother's original last name, and first name b) The person's date of birth c) Gender d) Mexican State of birth or born outside Mexico. e) The last two characters in the CURP prevent duplicate numbers and guarantee that the code is correct.

MOLG 940831 H TL RRR O 9 MO = Initial and vowel of Last Name L = Initial of Mother's Last Name G = Initial of First Name 940831 (two digits year, month and day of birth) H = Gender : H for "hombre" (male) and M for "mujer" (female). TL = Abbreviation of TLaxcala. Each state has a two letter code and people born abroad are NE "Nacido en el Extranjero" (born abroad). RRR = are the internal consonants of the last name, mother's maiden name and first name O = a letter or digit code to assure there is no duplication. 9 = Verification Digit.

It depends on the local law. Each country/state have its own rules.
A death certificate is usually available within a few days even if the cause is still being determined. Under the cause of death section of the death certificate, officials will usually put "Pending" or "Under Investigation". This allows a funeral to take place without an extended waiting period . When the cause of death is eventually determined, such as through toxicology and or microscopic study of the organs, an amendment to the death certificate is filed showing the cause of death.

How do you file a death certificate?
Reporting a death will often depend on whether the deceased was under Hospice care. If such patient dies, the Hospice nurse on-call is notified by the family member or finder. Otherwise it is reported to police, who will dispatch paramedics to confirm such death. Police will then remain with the family and remains until the remains are removed, either by the funeral home or the Medical Examiner/Coroner. If the death is suspicious the police or Coroner will call in homicide detectives to investigate.

Could a person lie about a parent's death on their own marriage certificate?
There is no need to go into detail as to how your parents passed away. Just put "deceased." If you are underage then use a guardians name or with the permission of a relative use their name.
Lying under oath is a crime. It could result in criminal charges and invalidate the marriage.
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. Many times we see death certificates that state causes of death, such as "head trauma...due to intoxication", that are not accurate but will certainly get the claim denied. 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.

What is meant by Softening of the Heart or Head on an 1850s death certificate?
I found this in "Rudy's List of Archaic Medical Terms":
Cerebral SofteningA localized softening of the brain substance, due to hemorrhage or inflammation. Three varieties, distinguished by their color and representing different stages of the morbid process, are known respectively as red, yellow, and white, softening. [Webster].Red SofteningCerebral softening resulting from inflammation. [Dunglison1874]White SofteningCerebral softening resulting from imperfect nutrition, due to deficient supply of blood. [Dunglison1874]Yellow SofteningCerebral softening resulting from the death of a portion of the cerebral tissue. [Dunglison1874]
Softening of the Heart - I found on "Old and Sold" Antiques Digest, published in 1921:
"This is a serious condition and may be either functional or organic. When it is functional, it is due to temporary loss of tone in the heart. By tone I mean a condition of partial contraction that exists in all healthy muscles. It is this partial contraction that gives firmness to the flesh of a healthy young person, and it is the loss of this tone that makes the paralyzed limb and, generally, the muscles of some so flabby.
The heart, after all, is only a complicated muscle, and is liable to the same loss of tone which may happen in any other part of the body. When this is due to nervous causes and to temporary debility, and not to any permanent change in the muscle itself, it is called functional.
Organic softening of the heart is much more serious. This is found when there has been an inflammation of the heart muscle caused by some infectious disease, such as grippe, diphtheria, or from some form of poisoning; or when a person has become afflicted with fatty degeneration of the heart. The loss of tone that is seen under these conditions is not due to a change in the action of the muscle, but to injury of the muscle itself. Of course, such troubles, as a rule, are much more difficult to cure, and it is necessary to remove the cause of the injury. The heart is often softened by poisons circulating in the blood that have gotten there from the digestive organs when there has been putrefaction in the intestines.
The treatment of softening of the heart, whether it is functional or organic, consists in removing the cause and strengthening the heart by means of physical development. When a boy trains for a race, at the same time that he trains his legs he trains also his heart muscle to meet the demands on it for rapid circulation of the blood while he is running. When a person does anything that improves the general health, there is at the same time an improvement of the circulation of the blood.
The cause of softening of the heart must be found by a careful physical inspection and by a chemical examination of all the processes of the body. By an examination of the nerves, diet, and habits of the patient the cause may often be discovered.
Also, the degree of softening can frequently be determined by a test as to what the heart is capable of doing in the way of keeping up the circulation when the person exercises. Loss of breath in going upstairs may be a sign of softening of the heart, because the weakened heart does not cause the blood to circulate properly in the lungs.
In this condition, the nurse will generally be called upon to enforce absolute rest; and it is necessary for her to understand what is meant by this term; it means that the person must remain in bed and must not rise or get up in any way whatsoever. This often requires great tact and skilful management, because it is hard for a person to understand that he must not get up for any purpose whatsoever. The under-lying principle is that the heart,. under rest, gradually works with less and less stress, and finally reaches a point where it can recuperate. Any exertion neutralizes, for a long time, the benefits of the rest; and recuperation does not begin again for some time. So a patient resting a while, and then jumping up, is often no better off than a patient who is up all the time so far as concerns the curative power of complete rest. "
