Death has Occurred
No matter if death is sudden, or if it’s something that was a long time coming, the loss of a loved one makes us feel emotional and overwhelmed.

Coping with Grief
Coping with the loss of a close friend or family member may be one of the hardest challenges that many of us face. When we lose a spouse, sibling or parent our grief can be particularly intense. Loss is understood as a natural part of life, but we can still be overcome by shock and confusion, leading to prolonged periods of sadness or depression.

Common Questions
Where do I register the death of a loved one?
After receiving the medical certificate of cause of death it must be taken to the Registrar General Department (RGD) and a burial order will be issued. If an autopsy is required, the burial order will be issued on the day of the autopsy; and, not before. You may also apply for a death certificate at the time of receiving the burial order; with the exception of Forensic cases where an autopsy report is needed to accompany the burial order for registration. These specific autopsy reports are usually ready within 6 months.
