What To Do When A Death Occurs
When the death of a loved one occurs, this can be an emotional, confusing and difficult time for you. Here at Watson & Bell we will help and guide you through the processes that will be necessary to go through. Once you have instructed us to take care of your loved one, they will become part of our “family” and we will treat them accordingly, affording them the dignity, care and attention that we would expect for our own family. We have put together a guide for you, below, to assist you in making this difficult time easier.
From September 9th 2024 the Ministry of Justice introduced new rules, redefining the roles of the Coroner’s Office, the Medical Examiner and Doctors, all deaths in any settings that are not investigated by the Coroner’s Office will be reviewed by the NHS Medical Examiner and the Deceased’s attending Doctor. These form part of the Department of Health and Social Care’s “Death Certification Reforms.”
