If a Death occurs at Hospital:
If a death occurs in a Hospital the relative will be in touch with
the ward nurse who will contact the Doctor who will issue a Medical
Cause of Death Certificate on examination of Medical Records. The above same details are required for registration. Most Private
Hospitals do not have the facilities of a Mortuary. There may be
a haste by the Hospital staff to shift the body at a suitable mortuary or at the residence. If at this point you require a Hearse or an
Ambulance for transportation to a suitable mortuary/residence you
may contact us.
If a death occurs abroad:
It may be most distressing in cases if death has taken place far
away from home. There are many practical problems such as language,Govt.
regulations, local customs (delays due to Ramzan, Bank and Public holidays), etc. You may contact us if you require your loved
one needs to return home as soon as possible.

the deceased has expired due to mysterious reasons.
- When
the family wishes to have an independent inquest on how the deceased
has actually died.
- When
there was no doctor attending to the deceased
- When
the family wishes to donate the body for Medical Research purposes
for students.
The
coroner will then decide the cause of death and issue a Death Certificate.
