Unexpected Loss
In the event of a sudden loss, the Police or ambulance service may call a duty Funeral Director to collect your loved one. You may choose whichever Funeral Director you wish to care for your loved one after this initial transfer. In the event of a sudden death, His Majesty’ Coroner may be involved. Their role is to investigate and attribute a cause of death. The Coroner’s officers are extremely helpful and will liaise with you and with us.
Loss at Home or in Residential Care
Loss in Hospital
How to Register a Death
The Registrar calls from a withheld number, so please answer these calls. Once you have registered, you will be able to purchase copies of the death certificate, which must be paid for at the time and cost £11.00 each.
The Registrar will issue the Certificate of Burial or Cremation, (commonly called the ‘green certificate’), either to you in person or send it to us electronically. We must receive the green certificate in order to proceed with funeral arrangements.
We’re here to guide you through the first steps.
