It is necessary to make sure that everyone who dies is identified and the cause of death is established. If a death occurred suddenly and unexpected, you may need to notify the Gardaí and the Coroner.
You should also notify the next of kin, family doctor (GP) and the Registrar of Births, Marriages and Deaths. If the deceased was an organ donor, you must act quickly if you are their nearest relative. Read more about organ and body donation here.
Funeral directors and undertakers deal with the arrangements regarding the burial or cremation. They can organise everything from the burial plot to religious services if you wish.
