Losing someone you love is always traumatic. Even if a death is expected, nothing can prepare you for the shock of that person's loss and it can be difficult to know how to act, what to say and what to do. At Fife Funeral Services, we will support you through the entire funeral process. Just give us a call and we'll go from there.
We are there to help and advise you in whatever way you need. We believe it's a privilege to be with you at such a sensitive time and to offer you our personal service which is available to you, 24-hours a day, 365 days a year. Our team provide a comprehensive service that covers every part of the funeral, from securing a suitable memorial to arranging transportation. Rest assured that we'll be there to help you every step of the way.
If a death occurs at home, it is necessary to inform a doctor who will then issue a Medical Certificate of Death after visiting the deceased or after you have visited the surgery. If a death occurs in the hospital, the process is similar, although you should apply to the hospital for the certificate. If a death has been reported to the procurator fiscal, they will issue a certificate which the police will then deliver to you. For more information, call us today.
All deaths must be registered either by a relative, a witness or the person who is arranging the funeral of the deceased. A Certificate of Death is required along with a birth certificate and, if available, a medical card. You will need the date or place of death, the full name of the deceased, their date or place of birth, their occupation and home address. You will also need the details of their spouse if applicable. Their social security certificate and pension books are to be sent to the DSS, with copies of death certificates taken for banks, insurers and solicitors.
You're not on your own. We can help you through the process. Get in touch on
