Death in Sunderland - 2009

[paulmh]

Just thought on. I guess that is only assuming that a message was left in the 'book of remembrance.' As I understand it, he died at home so would require a postmortem and therefore delay funeral/cremation dates.

An inquest and postmortem would only be required under certain circumstances see https://www.gov.uk/after-a-death/when-a-death-is-reported-to-a-coroner

Whether one was carried out or not doesn't really matter, I didn't realise that they list the passages in the Book of Remembrance by date of death order - I thought it would take sometime to find it. Anyways I cannot find anything relating to his death in the book .

Is there anywhere that you list when crematoriums took place?

Doesn't have cremation details but just so you have it -

Sunderland Registrars indexes - http://www.sunderland.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=1399

The best registrars index in the country if you ask me. Has all BMD from 1837-2013.

Regards,

I would like to thank everyone for there help. I have now managed to locate the information my friend was searching for - she will probably order a death certificate but other than that there is nothing she can/wants to do further. Thank you.
