Index: Where to Register a Death Locally and What to Do After

Where to Register a Death Locally in England & Wales — and Find Help After Someone Dies

Find out how to register a death locally, together with practical information about what to do when someone dies.

We believe our Local Pages include details of every Register Office in England and Wales, including the information you may need to provide, who can register the death and useful local contact details.

Coroners are involved in a significant proportion of deaths, so the Local Pages also provide Coroner information where relevant. From there, you can find local information about funerals, wakes, cemeteries and crematoria, faith and belief contacts, bereavement support, probate and estate administration, and practical services ranging from locksmiths to property specialists.

You can also download our printable guide to the documents and information the Registrar may need at your appointment. If you are unsure what to take, it is always sensible to check with the Register Office before attending.

Businesses and Charities — Get Listed Free

If your business, charity or organisation provides a relevant service, you can Get Listed Free on your Local Page.

Find Your Local Area

Choose your area below to find the relevant local information and contacts.

The search only covers the town the Registrar is based in, so use the Index below first.

Some Local Pages are still being developed. Where a page is not yet complete, we have linked directly to the relevant Local Council information so you can still find the essential registration details. If you know the area well and can help us improve a Local Page, contributions and corrections are very welcome.
