Please note, separate procedures apply where the death
has been referred to the coroner.
- Death certificates - these can be issued after a death
has been registered. There is a fee payable for each
certificate.
- Certificate for burial or
cremation - the registrar will issue a certificate for the burial
or cremation of the body, which will normally be passed to the
funeral director. A funeral cannot proceed until this certificate
is given to the burial authority or the crematorium. A certificate
for cremation cannot be issued before the registration of the
death.
If a death has been reported to the coroner, only the Coroner's
Office can issue a certificate for cremation.
- Certificate for applicable Social
Security benefits - a certificate for sending to the Department of
Social Security will also be issued by the registrar to the person
registering the death. The form serves a dual purpose; details of
the death are given on one side and the other side is the
application for applicable claim forms.
