Reporting a death

Who can report a death?

Anyone who is aware of the death. Usually, the funeral director takes care of it.

How do you report a death?

1. Gather documents

Gather together all the documents required to declare a death. These may vary depending on the situation. The funeral director will know which documents you need.

If you do the declaration yourself without a funeral director, contact us. We will let you know which documents you need.

2. Send documents

Send us the documents in 1 mail. Mention the surname and first name of the deceased as the subject.

We process the declaration and send the copies and authorisation for burial/cremation. We send the original documents afterwards.

Cost

Free of charge.

Did your baby die shortly before or during birth, after a pregnancy lasting at least 140 days? In this case you can have a deed of a stillborn child drawn up. From 180 days (6 months) onwards, it is mandatory.
