Using the knowledge gained from decades of caring for families, we’ve written a guide to show the steps to follow, in different circumstances, when you need to register a loved ones death.
All deaths must be registered at the Registry Office within the district where the death occurred and within five working days of the death. You should contact the Registry Office to make an appointment and we would advise you to do this as soon as possible. When you attend, please ensure that you take the ‘Medical Cause of Death Certificate’.Â
If the death has been referred to the Coroner, the bereavement officer will advise you how and when to register the death.Â
