If Death Occurs At Home

• Telephone the doctor who will visit to confirm that death has taken place.
• If it is out of hours contact 111.
• Contact a funeral director.
• Arrange to collect the doctor's Medical Certificate of Death (usually from the surgery).
• Take this to the Registrars Office, (together with the deceased's Medical Card and Birth Certificate, if available)
• The Registrar will normally issue a Green coloured certificate for you to give to your funeral director, who will then look after necessary arrangements for the funeral.
