What documents will I get from the registrar?
You will receive the following documentation during your appointment:
A certificate for Burial or Cremation (‘Green Form’) allowing for the body to be buried or for a cremation application to be made. If the deceased is to be buried or cremated outside of England or Wales the coroner will issue the necessary forms.
The Coroner will provide the certificate for burial or cremation if they have completed an investigation into the cause of death.
You can buy one or more death certificates when attending the death registration. Certificates are £12.50.
These are certified copies of the original register entry and will be needed by the executor or administrator when sorting out the deceased persons affairs.
Anything that has to be closed down or claimed will need a certificate.
