What To Do In The Time Of Bereavement

If Death Occurs At Home:

Telephone a doctor. He will visit to confirm death has taken place.
Contact us on 020 8777 4502 for advice and information.

 

If Death Occurs In Hospital:

Contact us on 020 8777 4502 for advice and information.
Collect Cause of Death Certificate from the hospital.
Take the Cause of Death Certificate to the Registrar's Office for the area in which the death took place.
The Registrar will then issue a Green Form that should then be given to us.

 

Notes:

If Coroner is involved a different procedure is followed, this will be explained to you.

If a death occurs and is referred to the Coroner then the Coroner's Office will arrange for a funeral director (under a separate contract) to remove the deceased to the Coroner's mortuary. The family can use any funeral director of their choice to carry out the funeral.

 

 

Please DO NOT wait for DEATH CERTIFICATE to be issued before contacting us.
