Procedures

Notifying organisations that someone has passed away

Government Organisations

Tell Us Once is a government service that lets you report a death to most government organisations in one go.

When you register the death the registrar will:

  • let you know if the service is available in your area
  • give you the phone number
  • give you a unique reference number to use the Tell Us Once service online or by phone

Other Organisations:

We recommend Life Ledger, as a comprehensive way to notify businesses that someone has passed away.

A check-list for your guidance

We have compiled a ‘to-do’ list to assist you through this difficult time, which can be downloaded or printed at your convenience, the second part of this contains a comprehensive list of who to notify: Your Funeral Checklist
