Registration

A Death must be registered by law in the district in which the death occurred. We will be able to advise you as to the whereabouts of the relevant office. Under normal circumstances the Notification of Death should be taken to the registrars with, if possible, the Deceased’s medical card. The registrar will then issue the death certificate.

Who can Register the Death?

• Any Relative of the Deceased
• Any person present at the time of death
• The occupier of the house where the death occurred
• The person arranging the funeral (but not the funeral director)

What information will be required?

• Date & place of birth and death
• Full name of the deceased, home address and occupation
• Marital status and, if the deceased is female, her maiden name and her husbands full name & occupation

The Registrar will normally also issue a green certificate, which should be given to us as soon as possible.
