Marriage certificate does not need to be cancelled after widowhood. According to the Civil Code, if one party is widowed, the marital status automatically disappears and the marriage certificate loses legal effect; If you want to remarry, just bring your death certificate and go to the police station to change the marital status column in the household registration book to widowed. The widowed marriage relationship will be automatically terminated, and legally speaking, you can remarry at any time.
