QuestionWhat can I do if I need to arrange the funeral quickly?
AnswerThe registration of a death can be effected between 9:00am and 4:00pm Monday to Friday.

If you need to register a death on a Saturday you must telephone first – 020 7641 1161.

However, we do recognise that some members of our community require a funeral to take place as quickly as possible. If a death occurs in the City of Westminster and the funeral needs to take place within 24 hours, we have a registrar on duty on Sunday mornings between 9:00am and 12:00 noon. The registrar may be able to issue a document to allow a burial to proceed. If you require this service you should telephone 020 7641 1161.
