Burials | Coroners | Cremations | Doctors | Exhumation | Funeral directors | Help with funeral expenses from the DSS | Professional Associations | Registration | Repatriation to England or Wales | Repatriation to a foreign country | What to do initially after a death

The doctor's role will initially be to certify the death, after which they will decide whether or not the coroner should become involved. The death will be referred to the coroner if the death was unexpected. If the doctor is certain of the cause of death he/she will arrange further details with the funeral director with respect to paperwork to be completed.
