What you should do next
Though we will co-ordinate all the necessary paperwork to conduct the funeral, there are also 2 more steps that will be required by you, in the following circumstances:
Step 1 - Obtain the Medical Certificate of the Cause of Death
The last attending doctor will issue a ‘Medical Certificate of the Cause of Death’.
Where it is not possible for a doctor to establish the medical cause of death, it would be necessary to involve the Coroner. The Coroner would usually be involved in the following circumstances:
- All sudden and unexplained deaths
- Cause of Death unknown
- Where the cause of death is unnatural, e.g. suicide, accidents, poisoning
- If the death occurred while the patient was undergoing a medical procedure.
Step 2 - Register the Death
In England, ideally a relative must register the death. To locate the relevant registry office of the area in which the death occurred visit www.gov.uk/register-offices and contact them to make an appointment:
- the date and place of death
- the full name of the person and their last address
- the person’s date and place of birth
- the person’s occupation and, in the case of a person who was married or widowed, the full name and occupation of their spouse
- if the person was still married, the date of birth of their husband or wife
- whether the person was receiving a pension or other social security benefit
- The Medical Certificate of Cause of Death (unless the coroner decided to hold a post mortem)
- The deceased person’s most recent Passport
The Registrars Office will reach out to the next of kin to schedule a convenient date and time for death registration after receiving all necessary paperwork from relevant parties.
