When someone passes away at home or in a nursing home
The first contact should be with the deceased’s doctor who, if satisfied with the cause of death, will issue the Death Certificate. In some cases, you may be asked to collect the certificate from the surgery. In the case of a nursing home death, their staff should liaise with the doctor. Contact us after you have informed the doctor.
