    Sorry to hear your news Keith.

    I found things went smoothly when my husband died except when it came to registering his death.

    The hospital gave us his death certificate in sealed envelope with no problem so off we went to register it. The very kind registrar opens the envelope and promptly says this is the wrong certificate and phones the hospital. Luckily my son and daughter were with me, we had to wait at the office while so son goes back to hospital to get the correct one where he was given profuse apologies.

    The strange thing was that a relative of the wrong certificate was after us in the queue and was only enquiring what the procedure was so he was able to register their death straight away using the certificate we had been given.

    All praise to that registrar in Yarmouth who fitted us in on the same day. I should add that the hospital was a similar distance away as Canterbury is to us here in Dover.
