Passing Away in the United Kingdom6

There are three important things that need to occur within a few days of a death: Obtain a medical certificate, register the death and arrange the funeral.
  • Obtain a medical certificate from the hospital or from a General Practitioner. You cannot register a death without a medical certificate.
  • Make sure the death gets registered within five (5) days (eight days in Scotland) - Register a death - GOV.UK. You will not get the documentation needed for a funeral until you register the death.
  • Arrange the funeral for the deceased person. You can either arrange it yourself or you can use a funeral director.

The death should also be reported to the relevant embassy or consulate.

The following information is required when reporting a death:

  • The deceased's full name, date and place of birth, address
  • Required documentation- the deceased’s passport, residence card, death certificate
  • The date and place of death
  • The cause of death

Repatriating Mortal Remains

The repatriation of a body to the home country requires permission from a coroner. You need to apply at least four days in advance to move the body. In addition, the help of the relevant local embassy or consulate is needed. Consular officials can assist in organizing repatriation and obtaining appropriate documentation.

When repatriation of the body is requested, funeral homes or crematoriums in Japan will temporarily hold the remains while arrangements are made.

The cost of repatriation covers transportation and essential documentation, which may include:

  • A certified Copy of the Notification of Death
  • An embalming certificate (if required by the destination country)
  • A certificate confirming the coffin complies with International Air Transport Association (IATA) regulations.
