Arrangements and Registration

One of our Funeral Directors will arrange to visit you at home or in one of our meeting rooms at Pickett Meadow, if you prefer.  We can guide you as much or as little as you need regarding the funeral arrangements, including:

• Type of Funeral Service and Officiant
• Choice of coffin
• Clothing for your loved one
• Visits to our Chapel at Pickett Meadow – once necessary preparation is completed and we are ready in our Chapel we can make arrangements for you to visit your loved one on any day to suit you
• Facilities offered by the Crematorium
• Obituary and acknowledgement notices
• Floral tributes
• Orders of Service
• Charitable donations
• Transport requirements for the day of the Service
• Pallbearers to assist 
• Refreshments after the Service
• Laying to rest of ashes

We are able to support you and make all the arrangements for the Funeral Service, including the completion of necessary documents and liaison with all relevant parties; the only part we are unable to complete on your behalf is the registration of death.

 

Registrar:  0345 155 1002

 

For the appointment at the Registrar’s Office you will need to bring the following information:

• If the death has not been referred to the Coroner you will require the Medical Certificate of Cause of Death signed by the Doctor or Consultant, which confirms when and where the death occurred. This will be emailed by the Doctor, Consultant or Medical Examiner directly to the Registrar

• Date and place of death
• Deceased’s full names and correct spellings
• Any maiden surname and former names
• Marital status
• Full name and occupation of spouse or civil partner
• Date of birth of the deceased and of spouse/civil partner if still married/in civil partnership at the time of death
• Last known occupation
• Address
• Deceased’s birth and or marriage/civil partner certificate (if applicable) – these items are useful but not essential
• Medical card—this is useful but not essential
• A form of ID (for the person registering the death)
• ‘Tell Us Once’, the Registrar will give you a reference number to complete this online

After a death has been registered, one or more certificates may be

purchased at the time or registration, at a cost of £12.50 per certificate.

Certificates can be obtained at a later date if required, but costs may vary.
