First Steps
Report
The hospital or nursing home staff will make arrangements for the doctor to issue the Medical Certificate of Cause of Death (MCCD) and the doctor's surgery will advise you when it is available. Let the home or hospital know which funeral director you have chosen to save any confusion or delay when a death occurs and if a cremation or burial has been decided.
Registering a Death
Report
There have been some changes to the normal death registration process. These are to facilitate social distancing practices and to make the process easier. As a result, a death is currently registered via a telephone appointment with the registry office. The first step is to contact the doctor (GP) or hospital about obtaining the Medical Certificate of Cause of Death (MCCD).
