[H1] WHAT DO I DO?
For most people the death of a relative or close friend is a very traumatic experience.
They feel intense emotions and even the most organised people often feel confused and a little helpless. The purpose of a Funeral Director is to offer professional advice and guidance to assist you in making the funeral arrangements.
You can contact a Funeral Director of you choice for advice at any time following a death, even before registration.
You should try and find out if the deceased left a Will or any instructions regarding their funeral.
Is burial or cremation in order, with a religious or non-religious service in church or chapel?
Is there an existing family grave i.e. either for a full burial or cremated remains?
How to Register a Death
A death must be registered within five days. This can be extended in exceptional circumstances or if the coroner is involved. A death can only be registered once the registrar has received a scanned (Medical Certificate of Cause of Death) from the doctor, we will inform you when the registrar has received the relevant paperwork which then you will be able to make an appointment to register the death.

A simple cremation coffin would be used and your loved one would be dressed in either one of our gowns or own clothes of your choice, giving you the choice to come and view your loved one within office hours at no extra charge.
