Before we can arrange a cremation, there are some legal requirements and documents that need to be completed. Please fill in the forms below with as much detail as possible. The information you provide will be used for:

Registering the death with Births, Deaths, and Marriages
Completing the Cremation Application
Completing the Authorisation for Cremation and the Financial Agreement.

You will need to set aside about 15 minutes to complete this form. You will also need the name and email address of someone who can witness it.

After you submit, we will email you a link to confirm your email address. Once you have clicked it, your witness will be emailed a secure link to review and sign on their phone or computer. We cannot process the application until both of these are done, so please let your witness know to expect the email.
