It is necessary to be qualified to register a death. See categories below.
- Relative of deceased
- Person present at the death
- Occupier of the house where the death occurred
- Person causing the disposal of the body (arranging the funeral)
The registrar will need to see the death certificate issued by the Doctor (except in Coroner's referrals) and will require certain information for the registration.
- The full name and surname (and any other names used) of the deceased
- Maiden surname for women
- Date and place of birth
- Occupation and usual address
- If the deceased was married, the date of birth of the surviving widow or widower
- If the deceased was widowed (women only) the full names and occupation of their late husband
