Lambeth Registry Office is a key location for local residents needing to register a death. Situated conveniently for those in the Lambeth area, their compassionate and professional team is available to guide families through the necessary procedures during a difficult time. We recommend contacting them directly to arrange an appointment.

Registering a Death in Lambeth

One of the first steps required after someone passes away is to register the death, which legally needs to be done within five days in most circumstances (unless the Coroner is involved). This registration formally records the death and is necessary for the registrar to issue the ‘Certificate for Burial or Cremation’ (often called the Green Form).

Obtaining this certificate is essential, as it allows us, your funeral directors, to proceed with confirming and finalising the funeral arrangements according to your wishes.

Please remember we are here to support you through this process. If you have any questions about the information needed or the documents you’ll receive from the registrar, don’t hesitate to ask us. For more information read our full guide on How to Register a Death or our FAQs below.
