you should discuss and agree (as early as possible) on how to manage the situation. Where possible include the family member who is ill/frail so their wishes are taken into account regarding issues as place of death, resuscitation status, burial arrangements etc. Where they lack capacity, decisions should be made in the best interest of the family member rather than personal opinions. By having a clear plan of action, care will be better coordinated, and this may also prevent additional stress at the time of death.

The MCCD (Medical Certificate Cause of Death) is given to the next of kin who is required to deliver it to the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages within five days. In the absence of a next of kin, the following can register the death: A relative Someone present at the death An administrator from the hospital The person making arrangements with the funeral directors This can also be emailed directly by a hospital (bereavement office) to the Registrar instead of being given to the next of kin.
