Deaths, funerals and cremations

Customer notice:

Please note: The office will be closed on Tuesday 28 January and Wednesday 29 January 2025 for essential training.

Please do not worry if you have a ceremony booked with us as this will still be going ahead.

If you require an urgent burial or emergency wedding, please call 01952 382444, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

During this time priority certificates will be paused, and resume on Thursday 30 January 2025.

Many thanks for your understanding during this time.


From 9 September 2024, the Death Registration process is changing. This involves changes to legislation, and how paperwork is completed and by whom, rather than to the registration itself.
