Why do you need a picture of the original Death Certificate?

We ask for a picture or scan of the original Death Certificate because a lot of companies require this for their records. The death must be matched against the General Register Office (GRO) data, to prove the death happened and prevent fraud. If you have not received the death certificate yet, please upload the Coroner’s Interim Certificate. 

Please note that some companies request a physical death certificate to be posted to them. In that case, we will let you know the address to send it to.
