Certificates that are issued
Death certificate
After a death has been registered, one or more death certificates can be purchased. The fee for a certificate is £12.50
Certificate for burial or cremation (issued free of charge)
The registrar will issue a certificate for the burial or cremation of the body, which is normally emailed to the funeral director. A funeral cannot go ahead until this certificate is given to the burial authority or the crematorium. If there is a delay to the registration of the death, it is possible for a certificate for the burial to be issued before registration, as long as the death does not need to be reported to the coroner. A certificate for cremation cannot be issued before the registration of the death.
If a death has been reported to the coroner, he or she may issue a certificate for burial or cremation where possible.
