Death registration
What certificates will be issued
Once the registration is complete, the Registrar will issue certificates.
You will receive free of charge the following two forms:
A Certificate of Burial / Cremation - this is a green form and must be handed to the Funeral Director.
A Registration or Notification of Death Form - this is a white form. It is issued purely for the purpose of notifying the DSS of the death. The informant completes the back of the form and sends it to the DSS with any pension or allowance books belonging to the deceased.
Death Certificates
If you require any death certificates (for banks, insurance companies, etc.), you can buy them at the time of registration. Each certified copy is £3.50.
