You may be asked to bring:

  • Medical Certificate of Cause of Death
  • Full name, address and date of birth of the deceased
  • Occupation and marital status
  • National Insurance number (if known)
  • Information relating to pensions or benefits

If you would like help preparing documents or booking an appointment, we are here to assist.
