What documents will I receive? When you register a death, you will receive the following: • A certificate for Burial or Cremation (the green form) – gives permission for burial or application for cremation. This form will be sent directly to the funeral director by the registrar. In some cases, the Coroner will issue this document directly to the funeral director. • Death Certificates are purchased when you book your appointment. You can purchase further copies at any time through our website www.rbkc.gov.uk/registrars . • A reference number to use the Tell Us Once Service – a free and highly recommended service which will inform government agencies and local authorities of the deceased’s death, all in one go. Included within the service: Local Authority • Housing Benefit Office • Council Tax Benefit Office • Electoral Services • Blue Badge
