How To Register A Death

How soon after someone dies do I have to report their death?

You should report someone's death immediately to the death registration district in which the death occurred. The reporting is usually done by the funeral director who is in charge of the arrangements that you've made, and they usually take care of that for you.

What is a "death certificate"?

A death certificate is a registered document that states the person's name, who they were married to and what the cause of death may have been. The death certificate basically gives you the information about the deceased person.
