Who To Inform In The Event of a Death

If a death occurs at home, you should contact the deceased’s GP. If you don’t know who the GP is or if the deceased didn’t have one, you should call an ambulance.

You may also want to inform:

• the deceased’s minister of religion

• relatives

• friends

• the deceased's executors - they may hold information regarding the deceased's funeral wishes

• the deceased's solicitor - they may hold information regarding the deceased's funeral wishes either in a will or funeral plan

• the deceased’s employer

Once you have the medical certificate, you need to register the death.
