Your question appears to be incomplete as you have not mentioned the place of death of your father as well the cremation place from where the certificate has granted to you. However if your father died within the limits of the Kolkata Municipal Corporation or in any other municipal limits of west Bengal in that event , you have to submit an application to the deputy Municipal Health Officer with the original certificate issued from their end along with the copy of the death certificate granted from the end of Doctor /Hospital. In case the spell is mismatch from the said certificate than the authority will grant you a fresh certificate upon payment of their usual charges as applicable per norms. In case of outside the Bengal than you have to follow the rules of the relevant state , however the document needed for making the application will remain same which please note.
