Register the Death
A comprehensive guide to registering a death in the UK
Registering a death is a legal requirement that provides official recognition of the person's passing. It's typically done by a relative, but can also be done by someone present at the death, the occupier of the premises where the death occurred, or the person making arrangements with the funeral directors.
The registration process involves providing information about the deceased to a registrar, who will then issue the necessary documents for the funeral and for legal purposes.
This guide will walk you through the requirements, process, and documents needed to register a death in the UK. It's important to note that the process may vary slightly depending on where in the UK the death occurred.
