Bereavement and Medical Examiner Services
In September 2024, new processes were implemented in England and Wales so that all deaths have an independent review before the death is legally registered.
Coroners and Medical Examiners share this work, which is done in the days after a person dies and before the death can be legally registered.
When someone dies, there are many things to do which you may not be familiar with, often at a time of great distress. This webpage provides information and advice to guide you through the practical issues you or your family may have to deal with at this time, such as how to register a death and arrange a funeral. Our experienced team are available for any further support you require.
