In all forms of business today there are big, international companies that have made their profits by taking over small firms. The funeral profession is no exception, with many small businesses have been swallowed up by the giants. The trouble is, there usually isn’t any change of name to tell you the difference. That makes it hard for you to distinguish between the family-owned firm and the conglomerate. Without asking, you might never know if the proprietors your family has trusted over the years continue to make the decisions which will affect the service you receive when you need to make funeral arrangements. Most of the small firms will put the word Independent on all signs outside the chapels and on any paper work to show that they are still family run.

The Registrar will issue a green certificate, which is required by the funeral directors in order for the funeral to take place. This is an important document so should be given to the Funeral Director as soon as possible. The Registrar will require the following information of the deceased: • Full name • Date and place of birth • Date and place of death • Marital status • Home address • Last occupation (even if retired) • If married at date of death, the date of birth of the surviving partner • If female and married or widowed, the maiden name and husband’s full name and occupation • Local Registrar’s Offices Please note that all registrars require you to make an appointment to register a death.
