What to do after a death
In the unfortunate event that a person has passed away, there are three things that must be done in the first few days:
– Obtain a death certificate from your GP or hospital doctor (this is necessary to register the death)
– Register the death within 5 days, you will then receive the necessary documents for the funeral
– Make the necessary funeral arrangements
