After registering a death

Once you have registered the death, you can now arrange the funeral.

Council-arranged funerals

We can help if the person who died:

  • does not have friends or family who can arrange their funeral
  • does not have enough money to cover the funeral

Get a new copy of a death certificate

If you want to get a copy of a death certificate after the registration process is over, you can still do so.

This will cost £11 per certificate plus postage fees.
