Register of Deaths

In addition to the statutory requirements governing the registration of deaths.

We will:

• Arrange an appointment for you within the opening hours of the office and at your convenience
• Observe the dignity and respect which the occasion demands
• Complete your visit within 30 minutes
• Issue all relevant documents at the time of registration
• Provide, if necessary, a liaison between yourself and funeral directors, and, if required, yourself and the coroner's office
• Provide comprehensive advice and information after the registration and for as long as necessary
• Assist in the registration of a death where the event needs to be reported and registered with an office other than this one

You can help us by:

• Arriving promptly for your appointment
• Bringing with you the relevant documents we need to register the death
• Knowing how many death certificates you will need
• Letting us know of any ideas you may have to improve the service
