After Registration you will be issued with two forms:
- A green form to take to the funeral directors to allow you to make arrangements for the burial or cremation. If the coroner has been involved then this may be issued by their office and not the Registrar.
- The Registration or Notification of Death Form is for Social Security purposes. Please read and complete the back of the form, returning it to any local Department of Social Security Office without delay – this relates to state pensions and benefits.
Death certificates may be required by banks, building societies, solicitors or for some insurance and pension claims (photocopies are not acceptable). You may purchase as many certificates as you wish at the time of registration.
