Registering A Death

The procedure for the registering of a death has changed since the pandemic. The GP surgery or Hospital will send the next-of-kin details direct to the Registrar, who will then phone to complete the process.

Who can Register?

• Close relative of the deceased
• Relative in attendance during the last illness
• A relative living in the district where death occurred
• A person present at death
• The person causing the disposal

Documents required

• Medical Certificate of Cause of Death
• Medical Card (if available) or
• Birth Certificate

Information required to Register

• Date and place of death
• Full name of deceased (maiden name if applicable)
• Date and place of birth
• Occupation and home address
• If married, full name and occupation of surviving spouse

What Happens Next

• All documentation is sent via e-mail or post to yourself and the Funeral Director.
• You will receive your copies of the Death Certificate in the post.
