Registration of Death

It is a legal requirement that every death that occurs in Queensland has to be registered with the Births, Deaths and Marriages. Burnett Regional Funeral Services will do this on your behalf.

Once the death is registered, a formal death certificate, which is needed in relation to any legal and estate issues, will be issued to the informant who signed the Form 8 – Death Registration Information form – Form 8 - Death Registration Application.

To make the process easier at the time, you may wish to record this information in advance, and bring it along to your initial meeting.
