After registering a death
Once you have registered the death, you can now arrange the funeral.
Council-arranged funerals
We can help if the person who died:
- does not have friends or family who can arrange their funeral
- does not have enough money to cover the funeral

Get a new copy of a death certificate
If you want to get a copy of a death certificate after the registration process is over, you can still do so.
This will cost £12.50 per certificate plus £3.54 postage.
