registrar is as follows

The process for registering the death with the registrar is as follows:

• The Medical Certificate of Cause of Death (MCCD) will be scanned and sent electronically from the GP, Rotherham

Hospice or Coroner’s Office directly to the Registrar’s Office.

This will include contact details for the next of kin.

• The Registrar’s Office will then contact the next of kin to arrange a face-to-face appointment to register the death. You will be asked how many death certificates you will require. These have a cost per certificate printed and you can find more details on the price on the government website. You will be asked to order and pay for any certificates required at the time of booking the appointment and the certificates will be posted to you following completion of the registration. • Please note where there is no Coroner involvement, the

General Register Office requires a death to be registered within 5 days. • After the death registration appointment has been completed the Registrar will send the Green Form 9 electronically to the Crematorium and funeral director. This will allow the body to be released. • The Registrar will also explain the “TELL US ONCE SERVICE”.
