Funeral arrangements can either be made in  our offices or the Applicant's own home, if preferred. In order to make the funeral arrangements, we will need to know if you require a burial or a cremation. If you are unsure, you may find our section entitled "Burial or Cremation?" helpful.

Once you have decided upon burial or cremation, we will need to know:

• Full name and address of the deceased
• Age of the deceased on their last birthday
• Place, date and time of death
• Name and address of General Practitioner
• Marital Status of the deceased
  • If the deceased was married - name, address and telephone number of spouse
  • If the deceased was not married - name, address and telephone number of next of kin or person taking responsibility for the funeral arrangements (the Applicant)
• Confirmation of whether the deceased had a pacemaker fitted (pacemakers must be removed before cremation)
• Did the deceased have a Pre-payment Funeral Plan?
