Grieving and remembering

What the Registrar will give you

The registrar will:

Issue the Certificate for Burial or Cremation [known as the Green Form] and email it directly to the Funeral Director, unless the coroner has issued an Order for Burial or a Certificate for Cremation already.

Register you for the Tell Us Once service and give you a reference number, enabling you to inform multiple local and central government departments of the death in one contact.

How much does it cost?

There is no charge for the death registration itself or the Tell Us Once registration.

Death Certificates

No death certificates are issued free of charge. The cost for each death certificate is £11. Payment can be made by debit/credit card.

The Registrar will ask you to check all the information that they have recorded in the register. This is a legal document and therefore it is important that the registration is accurate.

You will need copies of the death certificate to give to organisations such as banks, building societies, mortgage companies, insurance companies and solicitors.
