There will be no need for you to come onto the hospital site to collect the certificate as once the MCCD is completed and signed off by the Medical Examiner this will be sent directly to the Registration Service . The Bereavement Office will phone you and advise you when this has been done , so that you can book an appointment to register the death .
We strongly advise that an appointment to register the death is not made until after you have received this call confirming the bereavement paperwork has been completed for you . The death must be registered within 5 calendar days from when the MCCD has been sent to the Register Office .
