It is difficult when giving general information to cover all
eventualities and situations on what is a very personal and
important event.
That is why in addition to these information sheets the services,
help and advice of
A. Waite & Son is available and accessible 24 hours a day 365 days a
year.
We are only a telephone call away on 0113 2310432.
Your choice of Funeral Director is an important one. At a time of
loss you need to know who you are dealing with and have the
confidence that your Funeral Director has your best interests and
needs for your funeral as their highest priority.
A. Waite & Son endeavour to carry out your wishes with consideration
and care.
The unbroken ownership of A. Waite & Son by the Waite family means
you can have the knowledge that your wishes are been carried out by
a family business where you know who you are dealing with, who you
can talk to and just who owns the business.
Once you have made contact with us it is then our priority to ensure that your instructions and needs are fully arranged and carried out with care and dignity.
How to Register a Death
Together with the appropriate authority and Doctor we will help and advise you as best we can so that you can register the death. Normally this is done in the district in which the death occurred and has to be registered by a close relative of the deceased, executor or other suitable informant.
Following the issue of the Doctors Death Certificate you can then
make an appointment with Leeds Register Office on 0113 2224408 to go
and register the death at an office suitable to you.
You will need the Doctors Certificate with you and details such as
full name of deceased (maiden name if applicable), date and place of
birth, occupation, home address and if married full name and
occupation of spouse.
The Registrar will go through the registration with you and register
the death and they will then issue all necessary certificates.
The Coroner
In cases when the death is reported to the Coroner the procedure
is different.
The Coroner will tell you what will happen as to death certificates
etc but we together with the Coroner will work to make sure the
minimum possible delay is met and guide you as best we can.
