You should register the death in the registration district in which the death happened. If it is not convenient for you to visit the register office for the district, you can go to any other register office in England or Wales to make a “Declaration of the Particulars”. In that case, we will send you the documents needed for the funeral to go ahead by post. Because of this, the funeral may be delayed. We will also send you form 344 for social security purposes and any death certificates. If the death occurred within Dudley Borough, you can register at either Dudley Council Plus, Dudley Register Office or Stourbridge Register Office. If you are not sure in which district the death happened, please phone one of the offices for advice.
Office opening hours and location details available here.
You should register the death within five days unless the registrar says that we can extend this period.
Please phone to make an appointment as soon as you have the medical certificate of cause of death from the relevant doctor. Please bring this certificate with you when you come to the register office.
To make an appointment to register a death please telephone
Dudley Council Plus on 0300 555 2345
