The first thing we need is a copy of the Death Certificate. In the case of an expected or natural cause of death, a doctor will need to sign a Death Certificate. If the death occurs at home, and had seen a doctor in the last 6 months, the family doctor should be called to issue the Death Certificate.

If the death occurs in a private hospital or nursing home, the nursing staff will contact the doctor for you. If someone dies in a public hospital, the attending doctor will issue the certificate.

If none of the above applies to the death of your loved one, for example, the death was an accident, suicide or result of foul play then you must first call the police who will then submit a report to the State Coroner. There are a number of circumstances when the police will still need to be called which you can read about on our What to do next page.
