Note: A death should be registered in the district where it occurs. For deaths outside Calderdale, please contact the local register office for advice.
Deaths are registered in person, by appointment only. Please do not attend the Register Office without a confirmed appointment, as we may not be able to see you.
Please do not book an appointment until you have spoken to the Medical Examiner. They will let you know when the paperwork has been sent to us.
On days when the Register Office is closed
- Paperwork can be issued to allow a funeral to take place (10am - 6pm), in some rare circumstances. A Community Registrar can be contacted between these hours: 07940 541583 (mobile).
- Before you phone, check that the completed paperwork has been sent to the Register Office by the Medical Examiner.
- Relatives who want to take a person out of the country must contact the Register Office the next working day.
