Documents you will receive
Once you have registered a death, you will receive:
- a Certificate for Burial or Cremation (the ‘green form’) - gives permission for burial or an application for cremation
- a Certificate of Registration of Death (form BD8) - you may need to fill this out and send it to the Department for Work and pensions if the person was getting a State Pension or benefits
You are also able to purchase certificates for the registration.
