Coroners' Court Support Service (CCSS)
The Coroners’ Courts Support Service (CCSS) is an independent voluntary organisation whose trained volunteers offer emotional support and practical help to bereaved families, witnesses and others attending an Inquest at a Coroner’s Court.
Taking a body out of England
If someone dies in Coventry and you want to move their body Out of England for their funeral, the Coroner will need to provide a completed Out of England form (Form 103).
Your appointed Funeral Director will be able to help with obtaining the necessary documents.
There’s no restriction on moving bodies within England and Wales.
Treasure
You must report all treasure finds to the Coroner within 14 days. Treasure is strictly defined by the Treasure Act 1996.
Archived files
Should you require an archived Coroner’s file dated prior to World War 2, you will need to contact the Warwick Country Record Office (hyperlink)
Any files dated after this date, will need to be requested in writing, via the Coroner’s Office.
