Register a death

Documents we will give you

After registration, we will issue:

  • a Certificate of Registration of Death (Form 14) – sent directly to the funeral director
  • a abbreviated death certificate (extract) – free of charge
  • full certificates (extracts) – available to buy during or after your appointment

You can choose to collect your certificates from the Registration Office or have them posted to you by standard Royal Mail.
