Unless somebody is with the deceased at or about the time of death, then any assessment as to the time of death is bound to be an approximation. A certificate should contain only known facts and therefore it is quite in order, where time of death is unknown, to omit the time of death. There are, indeed, few circumstances where the time of death is material.

No as it is often unknown but when the body is certified dead which is not the same thing then a time is recorded for the coroners benefit a lot of people get mixed up with certified dead and a death certificate.

I wouldn't have thought so, in a lot of deaths they don't actually know the time the person dies for example when someone dies at home and isn't found for a couple of days.
I've just checked here, time of death is not on any death certificate.
