What to do when someone dies - suddenly

When someone dies suddenly

When someone dies unexpectedly, it is normal for the coroner to be involved to establish the cause of death. There is no need to be concerned by this, but the coroner will usually have particular procedures to follow.

The coroner is represented by the Coroner's Officer, who's role is to liase between the coroner, your funeral director and yourself. They will either be a police officer or a civilian appointed by the Coroner. Both the Coroner's Officer and your funeral director are there to offer advice and guidance.

Clouds

Contact your funeral director as soon as possible, so they can liaise with the Coroner's Officer on your behalf.
