Coroner’s Office

Coroners are independent judicial officers who investigate deaths reported to them

Coroner’s will make whatever inquiries are necessary to find out the cause of death, this includes ordering a post-mortem examination, obtaining witness statements and medical records, or holding an inquest.

Sudden or Unexpected Death

The issuing of the medical certificate is usually straight-forward, but if the death was sudden or unexpected, the Coroner may need to establish the cause and will arrange for a firm of funeral directors to remove the body for a post-mortem to be carried out.

Once this has been carried out, the funeral arrangements can take place.
