Forms for burial, cremation and family history research

Many of the forms on this page are to be completed by funeral directors. You might be asked to complete some forms yourself when arranging a funeral or for genealogy research. We will tell you which forms you need.

These forms are in PDF format, so that they can be printed and sent to us by post. 

They may not be fully accessible to assistive technologies (like a screen reader). 

If you use assistive technology and need versions of this document in a more accessible format, please send an email to to woodvale@brighton-hove.gov.uk It will help us if you say what assistive technology you use and what format you prefer.
