Documents

“ Taking care of the details allows you to focus on what matters most.”

Here are a number of forms and documents that may need to be completed.

We’ll let you know which ones are required, explain them in plain language, and guide you through completing them.
Usually, the necessary paperwork can be completed together when we meet to arrange the funeral.

Registration of Death

The information you provide on this form is required by the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages to register the death and issue an official Death Certificate.

Please note that the official Death Certificate is issued by the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages after the funeral service or after cremation or burial has taken place. This means it is not usually available immediately following the death.

As this is a legal document, it is important that all information provided is accurate. To assist you in completing the form, you may find it helpful to refer to the following documents (where applicable):

  • Birth Certificate
  • Marriage Certificate
  • Passport (if available)
  • Death Certificate of the deceased’s parents
  • Marriage Certificate of the deceased’s parents

If you don’t have all of these documents available, don’t worry. Simply provide the information you know, and we can assist you with any questions you may have.

Please download the form, complete it, and email it back to us so we can complete the registration process on your behalf.
