Deaths
Register a death
Details on who can register a death, the documentation we need before we can register a death, and how to do it.
Tell Us Once
Tell Us Once is an optional free service that lets you report a death to most government organisations and council departments in one go.
Cemeteries and crematoria service
Information and guidance about burials, cremations, graves and memorials and how to contact us if you need advice or support with a specific enquiry or request.
The Coroner
See scheduled inquests in the Liverpool and Wirral Coroner Area, and find out about attending an inquest, the role of the coroner and court etiquette.
When we arrange a funeral
There are times when we may need to step in and arrange a funeral for someone who dies without family or a will.
Information for doctors submitting a medical certificate of cause of death
Doctors should email scanned copies of medical certificates of cause of death (MCCD) providing the death occurred within the Liverpool city boundary.
Child deaths
All child deaths under the age of 18 must be reviewed by the Child Death Overview Panel. This information - for parents, families and carers - explains what we have to do when a child dies.
