Christmas opening hours
Register Office and cemeteries
Register Office
Our register office is open for death registrations only during the Christmas period. These are triaged by telephone first and all registrations are by appointment. We accept card payments only for certificates.
We will call the next of kin between 9am and 4.45pm once we have the paperwork from the Medical Examiner - there is no requirement for any family members to ring us.
We will also be available to issue emergency funeral documents for faith funerals via on call arrangements between 10am - 12pm over the holiday weekends/Bank holidays except Christmas Day. This is by appointment only on 01744 676728.
