Registering a death

Births What do I need to do if I want to bury or cremate a body in this country if the death took place abroad?

You need to take the death certificate issued by the foreign registration authority to the registrar of the district in which the burial or cremation is taking place. The registrar has to issue a document called a 'Certificate of no liability to register'. This is the document that will be given to the funeral director in order to allow the funeral to proceed.
