Bereavement

In times of bereavement it can be extremely difficult to know what to do next. At Dr Singh's Surgery all staff are there to help support you. There are many places where help is available and links to some of the most useful websites including services in Hounslow are listed below.

You can access the bereavement support online or you can call the confidential bereavement support line, operated by Hospice UK, on 0300 303 4434. This is free to access from 8am – 8pm, seven days a week.

If Death Occurs At Home

  1. Contact a funeral director.
  2. Arrange to collect the doctor’s Medical Certificate of Death (usually from the surgery).
  3. Take this certificate to the Registrar’s Office, (together with the deceased’s Medical Card and Birth Certificate, if available) for the area in which the death took place. Alternatively you can register by declaration at any convenient Registrar’s Office but certificates will not be available as these will have to be posted to you a few days later.
  4. The Registrar will normally issue a green coloured certificate for you to give to your funeral director who will look after necessary arrangements for the funeral. The Registrar will also issue a white notification certificate for the DSS. They will also enquire as to the number of Certified Copies you require for dealing with the deceased finances (a fee is payable for each copy).

If The Death Occurs In Hospital

  1. Contact a funeral director to inform him his services are required.
  2. Collect the certificate from the hospital then follow 3-4 as above.

Note For Cremation

Your funeral director will usually liaise directly with the surgery regarding the additional certification required.
