Bereavement Centre
The Oldfield Centre is a purpose built department that has dedicated staff to assist with the completion of the Medical Certificate of Death (MCCD) to enable you to register the death in the most efficient and sensitive way.
The centre has dedicated parking adjacent to the building with disabled access.
Appointment information
Before you are able to make an appointment to register, several documents have to be completed by the appropriate medical professional (Doctor) prior to us contacting you.
You will be contacted as soon as possible, usually during the afternoon of the following working day.
The law dictates that a death must be registered within 5 working days, unless the case is referred to the coroner.
If these arrangements are not convenient or you have difficulties, please contact the Bereavement Centre on 01709 424465 and ask for the medical examiner officer.
