REGISTRATION OF DEATH
It is compulsory that every death that occurs in Queensland has to be registered with the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages.
During the funeral arrangements we will require the following personal information in order to register the death.
- Full names of the deceased
- Residential address
- Date and place of birth
- Occupation of the deceased
- Marital status
- Marriage details
- Fathers full name and occupation
- Mothers full name including maiden name and occupation
- First Names and ages of children living and deceased.
When the funeral has been conducted we will lodge all of the required documentation with the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages. Once the death is registered a certified copy of the death certificate can usually be obtained from us within 4-6 weeks. This is often needed in relation to any legal and estate matters that may need to be attended to.
An important step you can make in advance is to record your personal details.
