Does an Executor need any additional official documents to open probate?

Yes. The Executor must request several certified copies of the decedent’s death certificate. A copy will likely need to be submitted to the court to open probate. One will also be needed for the funeral home, and copies will likely be needed for third parties when acting as Executor.
