REGISTRATION
|
In England and Wales, the Registrar of Births and Deaths must register a death in the area in which the death occurred and must be registered within 5 days. The procedure for registering a death is a simple question and answer interview between the registrar and the informant. Most registrars run appointment systems and we can let you have the contact details for the appropriate area. Where the death occurs a distance from where the family reside, the death can be registered locally by declaration. Under these circumstances full details will be given by us.

The medical certificate of the cause of death
The deceased’s National Health Medical Card
The deceased’s Birth and Marriage Certificate
Please note that the procedure is different if a coroner is involved in the death of the deceased
