Death - repatriation of bodies - England and Wales

If a death occurs abroad, the death should be registered according to the local regulations of that country and a Death Certificate should be obtained.

To bring a body back to England or Wales you will need either the Death Certificate or an authorisation for the removal of the body from the country of death by someone authorised to do so.

To arrange a funeral in England or Wales you will need:

  • an authenticated translation of a Death Certificate showing the cause of death, and
  • a Certificate of No Liability to Register from the Registrar in England and Wales. This certificate must be obtained from the Registrar of births, deaths and marriages in whose area it is intended to bury or cremate the deceased.

If the burial / cremation is to take place within Wirral please contact the Registrar's Office on 0151 606 2020.
