Bereavement

Home > Health Advice

What to do after someone dies

In the first few days you will need to:
  1. Get a medical certificate from a GP or hospital doctor. You’ll need this to register the death.
  2. Register the death within 5 days (8 days in Scotland). You’ll then get the documents you need for the funeral.
  3. Arrange the funeral - you can use a funeral director or arrange it yourself.

For more information please visit the GOV.UK website.
