2008
An emergency service (for example, on religious grounds) for the registration of deaths is available on a 'non-guaranteed' basis on Sundays and Bank Holidays, excepting UK Religious Holidays (Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Whit Sunday, Christmas Day and Boxing Day, when it falls on a Sunday).
The telephone number for this service is 020 7373 6099 however it is only for use in a genuine emergency.
This telephone number is for the Borough Duty Officer who will then contact the Officer on call. You must telephone between the hours of 9am and 10am if you require to be seen that day.
A Green Burial Form may be issued only if the Medical Certificate of Cause of Death is completed correctly by the Doctor certifying death and if the death does not need to be reported to the Coroner. You will need to travel to the location of the Officer on call.
You should then make arrangements to re-attend the Register Office on the next working day in order to register the death in full.
