 Stillbirth
 

What documents do I receive from the Registrar after registering a stillbirth?

The registrar will issue a document that allows a burial or cremation to proceed if the Coroner has not already done so. This document needs to be given to the funeral director as a stillborn baby cannot be buried or cremated before this certificate has been issued. There is no other document that you will need legally from the registrar.
