Whether a death occurs in a hospital, a rest home or at a private home a doctor needs to certify the death by completing a Medical Certificate of Causes of Death. If cremation is decided upon a doctor needs to sight the body before the cremation takes place.
A call to us for advice and assistance at this time will help clarify the situation.
