I think only if the death is suspicious.

The registrar will issue a certificate for the burial (in a burial ground) or cremation (in a crematorium) of the still-born child. The certificate is normally passed to the funeral director who is making the arrangements. A funeral cannot take place until this certificate is given to the burial authority or the crematorium.

If there is a delay to the registration, it is possible for a certificate for the burial (in a burial ground) to be issued before registration provided the still-birth does not need to be reported to the coroner. A certificate for cremation cannot be issued before the registration.

Presumably they can have a funeral using the death certificate and then register it later on (up to 3 months later)

Octavius is right, there are circumstances where you can get a certificate for burial or cremation before the death is registered.

All stillbirths have to be registered by law.

Hi gina, its not exactly a death register. It's a stilbirth register. You can get a copy of the registry but you have to pay to get a certificate of stillbirth. This could technically be received after you get the certificate for burial or cremation that you give to the funeral directors.

Ok, you got me on a technicality, I said 'Death Certificate' but obviously it should have been a 'Stillbirth Certificate' but the fundamentals were all there, present and mostly correct.

I wonder if the spectators in Manchester got to see Corrie before the screen went kerplonk?
