Register a Death Lewisham

In England and Wales, you normally need to register a death within five days.

To speed up the process our Lewisham team suggest you register the death in the area in which the person died. There they will have the necessary documents you need so funeral arrangements won't be delayed.

In the Lewisham area you should visit the Register Office, Lewisham County Council, 368 Lewisham High Road, Lewisham to register the death.

Alternatively please call them on 020 8690 2128 

Once matters have been established with the Council the next step is obtain Probate and that's where the Mandy Peters Probate team are ideally placed to provide a sympathetic approach.
