If a death occurs in a Hospital the relative will be in touch with the ward nurse who will contact the Doctor who will issue a Medical Cause of Death Certificate on examination of Medical Records. The above same details are required for registration. Most Private Hospitals do not have the facilities of a Mortuary. There may be a haste by the Hospital staff to shift the body at a suitable mortuary or at the residence. If at this point you require a Hearse or an Ambulance for transportation to a suitable mortuary/residence you may contact us. |

It may be most distressing in cases if death has taken place far away from home.

A death is referred to the coroner on occasions like:
- When the deceased has expired due to mysterious reasons.
- When the family wishes to have an independent inquest on how the deceased has actually died.
- When there was no doctor attending to the deceased
- When the family wishes to donate the body for Medical Research purposes for students.
The coroner will then decide the cause of death and issue a Death Certificate.
