Note - the last 4 lines of the transcription indicate that this is a duplicate copy of the original record. Therefore the "signatures" of the participants are not their own, but rather written in the duplicate copy by the registrar.

The first margin note on the first page says -

Hirschberg, 16 July 1940

The wife Martha Böhme nee Kuhnt died on 12 July 1940 in Görlitz. Standeamt [Civil Registry Office] Görlitz #969/1940

The Civil Registrar [Bienase?]

The other two margin notes certify that the first one has been correctly entered into the record.
