In general, a death must be reported within five days to the registrar of births and deaths at the register office where the death took place. It is also possible to register the death at a register office in a different area, but this may slow down the funeral arrangements. In some areas, it may be necessary to make an appointment beforehand.

The person registering the death should take the medical certificate signed by a doctor and if available, the NHS medical card, birth certificate and marriage or civil partnership certificate of the deceased.

In the event of a death of a family member, friend or relative , the first thing to do is to call the family doctor. The doctor will provide a medical certificate stating the cause of death and a formal notice confirming that they have signed the medical certificate. This notice also explains how to register the death. If the death has occurred in suspicious circumstances, or it is that of a stranger, it should be reported to the police. If the cause of death is not clear, it must be reported to the coroner who will decide if a post-mortem and inquest are required.
