Sorry - I don't understand your question. Who's death?

I have never heard of certifying a dog as a companion due to death. Are you saying you lost someone and you are grieving their death and you have a dog that you want certified to go with you while you are grieving? I am not sure what you mean. Can you clarify?
I do know that some dogs can be certified on a medical basis to assist their owners and not just when the owner is blind, unable to walk or cannot hear. One dog I know of is certified to accompany her owner because the owner is a severe diabetic. Her doctor helped her get that certification. What you might consider doing is checking with a doctor that has certified assisting dogs and see if you can discuss your need and if there is a way to certify your dog. If so, that doctor would be able to direct you to where to go with whatever form he gives you, to obtain it.
Certainly, a dog can be a great companion when grieving or ill, certification or no.
Call around to doctors and find one that routinely refers animals for certs. for assistance. Call an organization for people with disabilities and that may be a good place to narrow down your search.

Unfortunately for those people who must have guide dogs to travel, there is little or no registration or certification for "Assistance Animals" and more and more of them are appearing with their owners demanding they be allowed in hotel rooms and on public transportation. When dogs are trained by a school, the school provides a photo ID of the person and their dog.
Every company involved in public transport and housing has their own policy.
The best I can suggest is that you get a letter from your psychiatrist stating your need for assistance in grief handling and carry it with you at all times. That is what you meant, right?

go to your Doctor and explain to him/her about your animal. they can write you a note stating your pet is your companion. this way you can keep the pert with out any problems.

You need to re-read your question. We don't understand what you are asking. Try again.
