How to register a death<\/b><\/h3>\n

In most cases, a close relative registers the death of their loved one in advance of the funeral. If no relative is available then this duty may be performed by any person present at the death, an occupier of the premises where the death took place, or the person who has accepted responsibility for arranging the funeral.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it may be necessary to arrange an appointment with the registrar. We can arrange for someone to accompany you, if you prefer.<\/p>\n

Essential information you will need to provide the Registrar:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Date and place of death<\/li>\n
  • Full name<\/li>\n
  • Date and place of birth<\/li>\n
  • Occupation<\/li>\n
  • Home address<\/li>\n
  • If the deceased was in receipt of a pension or allowance from public funds<\/li>\n
  • If applicable, the date of birth of the surviving spouse<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Some Additional documents the Registrar will need:<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Medical Certificate of Cause of Death<\/li>\n
    • Deceased\u2019s National Health Service medical card (if available)<\/li>\n
    • Deceased\u2019s Birth Certificate<\/li>\n
    • Deceased\u2019s Marriage Certificate (if applicable)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The Registrar may issue a green certificate for burial or cremation which is required by us prior to the funeral. Certified copies of the entry of death can be obtained for a small charge \u2013 these may be needed for legal or financial purposes.<\/p>\n

      If the death has been referred to the coroner, the registration process may vary \u2013 but don’t worry, Moar & Butler will advise what steps you need to take.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
