I'd label the form "Vital Statistics" or "Birth and Death Data" or possibly "Personal Data", depending on the purpose of the form. If you insist on using a single word for the form title, and don't like the aforementioned "Tombstone", you could miscall it a "Scorecard", "Annals", "Register", "Lifespan", "Vitals", etc.
I believe it is an epitaph, the words that are written on a tombstone.
