REGISTRATION OF DEATH
When a death occurs, there is a legal obligation to register the death with the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages in that state. The Registrar requires the following information as part of the process of registering the death.
- Full names of the deceased
- Residential Adress
- Date and place of death
- Date and place of birth
- Occupation of the deceased
- Marital status
- Marriage details - where, when and to whom
- Fathers full name and occupation
- Mothers full name including maiden name and occupation
- First names, dates of birth and ages of children, living and deceased
After the funeral service has been conducted we will lodge all of the necessary documentation with the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages. Once the death has been registered, a certified copy of the death certificate can usually be obtained from us within fourteen days. This is necessary for the completion of any legal and financial matters.
