The Death Certificate is a legal document that confirms that the person named on the certificate has died and that the death is registered in New Zealand. This is a legal confirmation of the death.

What is a Death Certificate?When we make the funeral arrangements with you, you may notice that we ask for a lot of information about the person who has died. The information you provide must be as accurate as possible because some of this information is required by the Department of Births, Deaths and Marriages to be confident of the deceased's identity.
The death certificate is an essential document because it can be used to close accounts, cancel licences and provide proof, where necessary, that your loved one has died. |
After the funeral, your funeral director provides this information to the Department of Internal Affairs. They process it and post the death certificate to us within ten working days. We then forward the death certificate to you or to the lawyer who is handling the estate.
If the death has been referred to the Coroner, it will state on the death certificate that the cause of death is “Subject to Coroner’s finding”. Once the Coroner has concluded their enquiries and ascertained the cause of death, you may then update the death certificate. |
