Dealing with the aftermath of a death is never easy; particularly if the deceased is a relative or a close friend.

If you are faced with this situation and have to take on the arrangements, then there are a number of essential steps you need to take to make the process easier and efficient.

• ✅︎ Notifying the Authorities
• ✅︎ Inform the family GP (if the death occurred at a residential address)
• ✅︎ The family doctor is the most likely person to provide and sign a cause of death certification, which will be necessary in order to register the death
• ✅︎ Register the death at the local Registrar Office (as soon as possible)

Registering

Before attending the Registrar office, an appointment must usually be made and you will need to obtain a certificate from the doctor who attended the deceased during their last illness. We can do this for you; call us on 0208 570 7978 and ask for the Funeral Director.

If the death occurred at a hospital, you will also be given a release form that we require for our paperwork.

Once the death has been registered, the Registrar will issue you with:

• ✅︎ A Certificate for Burial (known as the green form)
• ✅︎ A Certificate for Registration of Death

Documentation Required

You will require as much as possible of the following documentation or information: –

• ✅︎ Death Certificate
• ✅︎ Birth Certificate
• ✅︎ Marriage Certificate (if applicable)
• NHS Medical Card
• ✅︎ The deceased’s full name
• ✅︎ Their last address
• ✅︎ Their occupation
