So the MODS record would be a record for the part or piece being referred to and the 773 tag would be represented by the MODS "relateditem" tag which would provide details for the context in which the document is found. So the MODS record could be for a specific death certificate and the record would include a "relateditem" tag which would give details on the specific collection of death certificates from which it originated.
