Jane its the first one I have ever seen......Jac thank you you learn something new everyday.

I always thought that if you died in hospital then no DR was required but was if you died at home.....

I mean now Hayley, and then also of course.

Jac

Hayley....how funny are you?
I have hundreds of death certs with no-one of the medical profession in attendance...just family:0))

You mean now Jac....or then ?

Hayley - at the present time assuming that the death occurs at home, it is not obligatory for a Dr. to attend at death or even afterwards if death is expected.

Ergo............death could occur and if the Dr. is forwarned/anticipates the death, then he/she need not visit after death. Can simply provide death cert. and this can be taken to Registrar for death to be registered. If the means of disposal is burial, then no other Drs need see the deceased before disposal, and burial can take place. (In the case of cremation of course then two Drs. need to verify that the body may be disposed of)

So no Doctor need see the deceased after death, before interment

As you say, Hayley, anything could happen and i bet some awful things did too,

So easy in 1848.

Sent for 2 dealth certs before I went away I knew one would be correct.

The one that it isnt states the man died aged 88 yrs of old age and no medical rep attended....just his son was with him....
