How much does it cost to register a death?

Question	How much does it cost to register a death?
Answer	There is no cost to register a death and the registrar will issue a document to enable the funeral to take place and also a document for the DSS which will clear up any outstanding pension or benefit payments. The only cost involved is where the person registering the death requires certified copies of the death registration to clear up any outstanding matters on the estate. For example, if the deceased had any bank or building society accounts or insurance policies it will be necessary to obtain copies of the death registration as evidence of the death. Each copy attracts a statutory fee and you should contact the Register Office to establish the current charges.
