What to do When a Family Member Passes Away
At Home:
Contact the family doctor (or the doctor on call) who will come to your home to certify the passing and will issue a ‘Medical Certificate’, which in time must be taken to the registrars. Once the doctor has attended most families prefer for their loved one to be conveyed to our chapel of rest. This can be arranged by telephoning us at any time of the day or night. We will give advice on the collection of the medical certificate and the registration process.
“We always use an exceptionally smart and discreet vehicle when we are called to attend”.
At a Nursing or Residential Home:
The above procedure is likely to have taken place with your permission by the senior in charge, Warden or Matron, who will be able to advise you of the whereabouts of the ‘Medical Certificate’.
In a Hospital:
The nursing staff or administrative officer will advise you when and from where to collect the ‘Medical Certificate’.
In the event of a passing which is sudden or unexpected:
The Police will attend to coordinate the removal of the body, on behalf of the coroner, to the public mortuary. The coroner will be informed and the requirement for a post-mortem assessed according to Ministry of Justice guidelines.
Be aware you are under no obligation to appoint the Undertaker/ Director who has carried out the removal on behalf of the Coroner.
When you need us, we will be there for you, 24hrs a day, 7 days a week providing our highly regarded caring, dignified, personal and professional service.
