When a Death Occurs

At Home

Contact your doctor (or the doctor on call) who will come to your home to certify the death and will issue a Notification of death, which in time must be taken to the registrars. Once the doctor has attended most families prefer for their loved one to be conveyed to our chapel of rest as soon as possible. This can be arranged by telephoning us on the above phone numbers at any time of the day or night.

At a Nursing or Residential Home

The above procedure is likely to have taken place with your permission by the senior in charge, Warden or Matron, who will be able to advise you of the whereabouts of the Notification of Death.

In a Hospital

The nursing staff or administrative officer will advise you when and from where to collect the Notification of Death.

We always use an exceptionally smart and discreet vehicle when we are called to attend.
