Independent Funeral Services Canterbury and Whitstable
Our List here will guide you through what to do or, what will happen, when somebody dies at Home, in a Residential Care, Nursing home or at Hospital. We have also included here information on how to register a death and many useful contact numbers and address for help and support for anyone in bereavement. Together with how to obtain financial support.
Inform the Doctor As soon as possible inform the doctor that the death has occurred. He/she may write out the Medical Certificate of Death when he/she visits the house, or may request you attend the surgery for this purpose
When death happens in hospital the procedure is very similar. Apply to the hospital for the Medical Certificate of Death and not your family doctor.
In cases where death has been reported to the Coroner the procedure is somewhat different. The Coroners and their officers are working in your interest. No doctor will issue a Medical Certificate of Death. This will be issued by the Coroner to the Registrar’s Office in the district where the death occurred, after contact has been made with the Coroner’s Office.
